The sternum of the cat is elongated and consists of eight separate units called sternebrae. The first sternebrae is the manubrium, the next six constitute the bodyof the sternum, and the last sternebra is the xiphisternum.

The sternum of a human being is reduced in size, and consists of three fused portions: the superior manubrium, the central body (gladiolus), and the inferior xiphoid process.

Actually, there are more similarities than there are differences. Excluding the paws, hands, and feet, the rest of the skeletal structure is the same except the size and shape of the bones. For example: A human, a cat, and even a giraffe all have the same number of bones in their necks, seven.
