Pet Question

The cat's skeleton is made up of approximately 230 bones, and its structure and composition are similar to those of other mammals. The cat's skeletal system is mainly divided into parts such as the spine, limbs and head. The spine is composed of 33-35 vertebrae, helping to support the body and sports activities.

The limbs include forelimbs and hind limbs. Each leg is composed of 5 digital bones, 1 metacarpal bone, and various sizes of car bones and metatarsals. The skull is composed of 20 bones, including the skull, orbital bones, maxilla and mandible, etc., and protects important organs such as the cat’s brain and mouth. In short, the cat's skeleton system not only ensures the cat's structural stability and freedom of movement, but also has the function of absorbing external impacts and withstanding gravity.
