The mediastinum is an undelineated group of structures in the thorax. In a human, this contains the heart, esophagus, trachea, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve, thoracic duct, thymus and lymph nodes. In a cat, it includes just the heart, aorta, esophagus, trachea and thymus gland.
The papillae on the tongue of a human and a cat are similar because they are rough, although the cat's are much more rough. Both are used for the sense of taste.

The mediastinum in both cats and humans houses vital structures, but there are notable differences. In humans, it contains the heart, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus, and lymph nodes, with a more pronounced role of the thymus in immune function. In cats, while also housing the heart and major blood vessels, the mediastinum is generally narrower, and the thymus is smaller and often less prominent in adults. Additionally, the positioning and size of the trachea and esophagus can vary between the two species, reflecting their different respiratory and digestive adaptations.
The structure of the human liver is different from that of a cat. A human liver has only four lobes whereas a cat's liver has five lobes.
pleural space
mediastinum
The space between the 2 lungs is called the Mediastinum where the heart is located
The lungs are directly lateral to the mediastinum.
the newest nomenclature says that mediastinum is divided in 4 parts: -mediastinum anterius, -mediastinum posterius, -mediastinum superius and -mediastinum inferius. Mediastinum inferius is divided in 3 parts (anterius, medius and posterius);
i think that your lungs would be dried out.
