Product Information

The most anterior of the trapezius muscles, it is also the largest. Its fibers run obliquely to the ventral surface. Its origin is the superior nuchal line and median dorsal line and its insertion is the clavicle. Its action is to draw the clavicle dorsally and towards the head.

Cats do not have eye lashes, however, they do have a full inner-eyelid, or ‘nictitating membrane’. Cats have a third eyelid, called a ‘haw’, that is rarely visible. If it can be seen, it could be an indication that your cat is ill. It is claimed that cats are color blind, however, recent studies reveal that cats can actually see red, blue and green. The humerus bone of a cat is comparatively long and less twisted. It is the most robust bone in the cat skeleton and posses a round head. You will find a supracondylar foramen on the distomedial aspect of the cat humerus bone. But in some cat species, this supracondylar foramen may absent. The median nerve and brachial artery pass through this supracondylar foramen. Starting from the top-down, the skull is a natural place to start. Many of us will imagine one large identifiable bone when visualizing a skull. But the skull itself is actually a construct of many smaller bones fused together to form a function skull that holds many vital organs, the brain being the most notable. In the proximal part of cat femur you will find – greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, trochanteric fossa, intertrochanteric crest, and third trochanter. Again, there are medial trochlear ridge, trochlear groove, lateral trochlear ridge, and condyles in the distal part of the cat femur bone. Reighard, Jacob; Jennings, H. S. (1901). Anatomy of the cat.

Spinotrapezius, also called thoracic trapezius, is the most posterior of the three. It is triangular shaped. Posterior to the acromiotrapezius and overlaps latissimus dorsi on the front. Its origin is the neural spines of the thoracic vertebrae and its insertion is the scapular fascia. Its action is to draw the scapula to the dorsal and caudal region.

[44] Mature adult cats become dehydrated when they don't consume 60ml/kg a day, which could lead to health issues involving the bladder and kidneys. Feral cats get most of their water from consuming prey which contain high amounts of water, so they don't actually have to rely on drinking from a water source themselves. The same method is applied to domestic cats, with hydration coming from canned wet foods. [45] Ability to swim [ edit ] Stevens, C. Edward; Hume, Ian D. (25 November 2004).

These muscles form the strong ligaments and tendons, important structures in the cat’s front paw. The cranial superficial antebrachial branches of the radial, median and ulnar arteries supply the front paw of the cats.The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones from the forelimb and hindlimbs. You will find different long straight long bones in the limbs of the cat skeleton. The osteological features of these bones may vary due to the small size of the domestic cat.
