Kittens are strawberries for many people. They are gentle and lovely, and will come to you wagging their tails and bring you endless joy. Kittens' beards are also a major feature of them. It seems to be one of the most striking places for kittens, whether it is the owner of the cat or passers-by. So, what does a kitten's beard look like?
1, the kitten's beard is like a pendulum.
Cats' beards vary in length and thickness according to different breeds, but their common feature is that each beard grows on both sides of the cat's nose and around its mouth, and some grow above its eyes. A cat's beard is like a pendulum. They lean forward, they can sense the cat's surroundings, and they can also feel the wind direction and the cat's own movement.
Cats' beards can detect objects around them and help them avoid obstacles; Moreover, when the kitten is hunting, the beard can sense the dynamics of the caught object and help them hunt better. So the whiskers of kittens are actually a kind of natural radar, which can help them survive and hunt in the wild.
2. Cat's beard sensor
In addition to detecting the surrounding environment, the whiskers of kittens also have an important function, which is to help them perceive the shape and texture of the surrounding objects like sensors. Kittens can tell whether an object is smooth, rough, soft or hard by its beard.
In addition, the cat's beard has another magical function, which can help them feel gravity. Because when the kitten stands on the slope, the objects on the slope will produce gravity, which will make the kitten's body judge the slope more accurately.
A kitten's beard is like a tactile device.
In addition to the above two magical functions, a kitten's beard has another important function, that is, it is highly sensitive to touch. Cats have many receptors on their beards. When they touch an object, they will send brain signals to help kittens judge the position and size of the object.
Moreover, the kitten can also judge the surrounding airflow dynamics through the tactile feedback of the beard, and then judge whether there are dangerous objects.
A kitten's beard is like a compass.
You may not know that a kitten's beard can also help the kitten find its way home like a compass. Because there are many tiny hairs on the beard, we can sense the magnetic field lines of the earth and judge the direction and position.
Therefore, the kitten's beard is actually a very magical organ, which can help the kitten to perceive the surrounding environment, perceive the shape and texture of the object, judge the danger and direction, help the kitten to survive and hunt in the wild, and make it easier for them to find their way home. It is precisely because of these magical functions that the kitten's beard is so precious and lovely.
