Why are cats able to avoid obstacles accurately?

Usually the cat owner at home treats the outstanding things from time to time, and a bad look is bound to be eliminated, and the cat owner often only has the afterthought and the share of cleaning up the mess. I don't know if this family is ** to make the masters dissatisfied, and I will make the family a mess.

However, there was an experiment about cats avoiding obstacles, and the shovel officer was stunned after reading it.

It's easy to dodge at all, and what is amazing is that their hind limbs that can't be reached by their eyes are so dexterous and accurate, which makes Xiao Wang feel that the feline's obstacle avoidance ability is really incomparably strong! Ten thousand flowers have passed, and the leaves do not stick to the body.

Later, the owner upgraded the difficulty and used 2 mahjong tile stacks, so it is difficult to walk through the normal walk, but the cat is still smooth on the basis of zero collision in the way to complete the passing, very powerful, and on the return trip chose to jump over, the same is not knocked over any mahjong tiles.

In fact, felines are extremely reactive, up to 7 times more reflexes than snakes, and these are not stationary, they can avoid those dynamic obstacles, let alone these!

In fact, this also has something to do with the petite body of cats, because those kittens who seem to be fat are often just fat. When the cat passes through the obstacle, it will be weighed with its whiskers in advance, if the width is shorter than its whiskers, then it can pass, see here, want to say, don't be deceived by the appearance of the cat, otherwise how can you be as light as a swallow!

In fact, there is a certain reason why cats often knock over things in the house. One is because of their hunting nature, they will treat those gadgets as rat-like prey that can be caught, whether it is safe to touch them with their hands, and of course, the broken texture tells them that there seems to be no danger. The other is that they are bored, so they will find something to do, like a child, and at this time, the shovel officer needs to be patient and spend some time with them.

First of all,Cat's beardThe width of the cat's whiskers is about the same as the width of its body. If a cat wants to go through a small hole, it can stick its head in it first and then use its whiskers to tell if it can go through the hole! Only when the whiskers are not closed will the cat try to get through the burrow!

Second,Cat's reactionCats have always been known for their quick reaction speed, which is 7 times faster than snakes.

At the same time, cats are very mobile, so they can easily avoid them even when moving at high speeds or when facing sudden obstacles. In the study, we found that cats employ two main strategies:Avoid and traverse obstacles to avoid tripping over them

In addition, avoidance is the preferred strategy for avoiding a single obstacle. The difference in spatial and temporal parameters of stride length indicates that cats have special neural control capacities: when cats avoid obstacles, changes in neural circuits can be immediately reflected in muscle control.

In general,Cats have good reflexes and will immediately make dodging moves when they perceive an obstacle.

In addition to excellent reflexes,Cats' strong balance also allows them to maintain an elegant posture when dodging obstacles。The cat's back is soft and elastic, and it does not have a large collarbone like a human, which allows the cat's slender and soft body to calmly cope with all kinds of unexpected situations. In addition, beards also play an important role in avoiding obstacles.

Many people misunderstand a cat's beard and think that a cat's beard can keep it balanced. In fact, cats don't need whiskers to keep their balance. The main function of the beard is to measure spatial distance and feel changes in the environment.

When a cat loses its whiskers, it cannot perceive its surroundings and distance, so it falls easily, which is the same cause of blindness.

A cat's eye is an interfering phenomenon of reflective pigments. The reflective pigment layer is located behind the visual cell layer and is able to reflect back the light that passes through the visual cells, giving the light two chances to be exploited. The cat has a slender beard on the gills and has a very sensitive sense of touch, which is easy to burrow and jumpAs soon as the beard touches something, it quickly adjusts its behavior.

Because the cat's reaction speed is actually very fast, it can even see through the snake's movements, so it is better able to avoid obstacles.

Because cats are made of water, they are very flexible and agile, and they can suddenly avoid any obstacles.

<>The reason why cats have super obstacle avoidance abilities

In fact, the cat's super obstacle avoidance ability is innate, which has a lot to do with the cat's whiskers, quick reaction ability and living habits. Therefore, the reason why cats have super obstacle avoidance ability is mainly affected by the following factors:

1. The cat's whiskers.

A cat's whiskers are like a measuring stick that helps the cat measure the length, width, height and distance of objects. Generally, the length of a cat's whiskers is about the same as the width of its body, so when a cat wants to pass through a gap, it will often poke its head in and measure it first to determine whether its own body can pass through its fingers smoothly. Normally, when its whiskers are not folded, it will bravely try to pass!

Therefore, pet owners must not underestimate the cat's whiskers, and do not cut off the cat's whiskers at will, otherwise it is likely to have a great impact on the cat in the short term, after all, it takes a certain amount of time for the cat's whiskers to grow back.

2. Quick response ability.

Cats have super reflexes, originally snakes have very fast reflexes, and cats have 7 times the ability to react. Moreover, the mobility of cats is also beyond the reach of humans, and cats can easily avoid high-speed movements or when facing sudden obstacles. So for those obstacles that can't move, it's like pants for cats, and it's pediatric grade.

3. Cats cover special bone structures.

Cats have a super obstacle avoidance ability is inseparable from their special body structure, cats have a special bone structure, the bones of their back spine are loosely connected, and their back can be flexible like a spring that can be freely retracted, so they can make a variety of difficult movements. In general, the cat's body flexibility will be very good, so the cat is also called a "liquid" cat.

Therefore, under the premise of having strong limb coordination, coupled with its very fast reaction ability, it has caused the cat's super obstacle avoidance ability, and it is very easy for the cat to avoid obstacles.

I believe that after reading the above introduction of Dr. Pawpaw, you also deeply understand the reason why cats have super obstacle avoidance ability! Seeing this, is there some pet owners who are very strange why sometimes cats still knock things over, in fact, this situation occurs, and it may be due to the cat's curiosity or the cat does it on purpose.

Because cats are particularly flexible in their limbs, people say that cats are made of water, and they react very quickly when they encounter obstacles and can dodge them in time.

Because cats have a very fast reaction speed, and most cats love to be clean and have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Because the eye structure of cats is different from that of humans, especially at night, cats' eyes can see very clearly.
