It is said that cats have "nine lives." Of course, this does not mean that it is really dead until it dies nine times, but that cats have strong survival capabilities and are not easy to die. Let's see what cats have to survive.
First of all, cats have super running abilities, and it is not easy to hurt them. Cats and dogs are naturally incompatible. Whenever dogs see cats, they regard them as prey and chase after them. At this moment, there is no telling how many dogs are doing this in the world. But have you actually seen a cat that has been bitten to death by a dog? The reason is that cats can go to houses, climb trees, and climb walls. Although dogs are powerful, they can only stare blankly. To be honest, in a residential area, the only person who can catch up with a cat is another cat.
Secondly, cats can swim. Although their skills are not good, they won't die when they fall into the water. They can also help in critical moments.
Third, cats have a hard set of skills for soft landings. Even if they fall from a height, the injuries are often relatively minor, thanks to their developed motor nervous system and balance ability. Once it falls from a high altitude, whether it starts with its back down or in some other bad posture, it can complete its attitude adjustment in the air. When it approaches the ground, its forelimbs are ready for landing. The thick meat mat and flexible spine can effectively dissipate the momentum. However, sometimes when falling from a low place, the cat stays in the air for a short time, and the cat has no time to adjust its posture, but the injury will be more serious.
Cats also have a strong healing ability after being injured. In 2009, scientific research found that myelin cats can recover on its own after being destroyed, which cannot be done by the human body. Myelin is a lipid on the outside of neurons that can assist in the transmission of nerve signals. Loss of nerve protection can lead to loss of protection, causing sensory, behavioral, cognitive and other functional abnormalities. Therefore, the cat's nervous system has a strong ability to recover after damage.
Not only that, cats also have strong combat effectiveness and hunting capabilities. Cats also have sharp claws and sharp teeth. Under the same body shape, few animals can defeat cats. And the meat mat makes their movements silent, making it easy to ambush mice, birds and other animals. Coupled with a sharp nose and a pair of cat eyes that can night vision, it is difficult to starve cats to death!
