How strong is cats’ obstacle avoidance? Cats have strong obstacle avoidance ability. They can sense their surroundings through vision, smell and hearing, thereby avoiding hitting obstacles.
Cats have such strong obstacle avoidance ability, and it is really not something they can practice. The reason why cats can be so calm and confident is entirely due to their talent and innateness.
First of all, cats and other cat animals have relatively strong reaction abilities, more than 7 times that of snakes and many times that of humans, so it will not be mentioned to avoid hurting self-esteem. And they not only respond quickly to static things, but also avoid dynamic obstacles, so the ground's obstacles that cannot move are simply pediatric-level for them.
In addition to its super strong reaction ability, the cat's special body structure is also one of its advantages. The bone structure of cats is relatively different. The bones on their backs and spines are loosely connected, just like a spring that can stretch and contract freely. Therefore, they can make various difficult movements, because there is also the saying that they are made of "liquid", so their body flexibility is naturally no problem, and they are masters among yoga masters.
Therefore, the cat has excellent coordination ability in the limbs, and has very fast reaction ability, it is easy to easily pass through obstacles.
Cats can pass through obstacles smoothly, and they have to rely on a very critical part of their body, that is, their beards. A cat's beard is not just a bonus for cuteness, but in fact, the beard also has the function of measuring distance.
When cats want to pass through a narrow space, they will first use their beards to see if they can pass through. In addition, their bodies are softer, so they can pass through a narrow space. Even if they sometimes look at it, don’t be confused by them.
We all call the steps of models when walking the catwalk. In fact, the real standard catwalk is also very interesting. Maybe even professional models can't walk as well as cats.
I wonder if you have ever seen that video, the cat is walking in the snow, but there are only two footprints, but they are obviously "four-legged beasts", but in fact it is because of the cat's steps.
The model's cat step is actually stepping on both legs on the same central axis, which can make the model more elegant. The cat's cat steps are exactly the same as the place where the back foot steps and the front foot step, so they only leave two strings of footprints instead of four.
The reason why cats develop this unique skill is related to their past habits of surviving in the wild. Cats are very cautious animals. Any movement will attract their attention, and they will try to hide themselves and avoid being attacked when exposed.
So they not only learn to bury and cover up the smell, but also learn to walk in the way of cats to minimize the traces of walking as much as possible. This way of walking can also reduce the movements generated during walking to a greater extent, which is also very helpful for them to hunt on their own.
Having said so much, I just want to explain that obstacle avoidance games are like tailor-made for cats. You can tell by seeing that they not only walk with ease, but also have a very calm expression on their faces.
Of course, not all cats can abide by the rules of the game under any circumstances. Some cats will overturn when they don’t want to play with you or when they are not in the mood, and overturn all the obstacles on the ground. Veterinarian Xiao Ming, look at it. If you want to try your cat owner, you have to choose a good opportunity to do it. Friendly reminder, don’t use too expensive things as obstacles, otherwise the cost of this game will be high.
