Sandpaper is the closest analogy I can think of.
The difference between a cats tongue and a dogs tongue is that a cats tongue is rough and looks like there is little teeth on the tongue. The dogs tongue is smoother than a cats and is most of the time longer than a cats tongue. Also a dogs tongue can be different colours. It seems to be said also that a dogs tongue can heel a wound.
All cats--wild or domesticated-- have a tongue. They use it to lick and to drink water. They bathe with their tongues and clean their babies. Just like in humans, the tongue helps cats to eat and swallow.
yes. but not in a bath tub. cats have brush like hairs along their tongue that they brush their fur with. cats may over lick themselves if stressed.
I'm not sure what the scientifical term is, but I call them barbs.
The main reason a Lion, like domestic Cats, has a rough tongue is to help them groom themselves and drink water. Their tongue-brushes get the dead hairs and keep their coats clean. The down side to this is, just like with domestic cats, fur-balls.
When cats drink, they stick their ngue in the water, cup the tongue, pull it back into thier mouth and then swallow it. What you are hearing is the impact of the tongue against the water.
Cats like to sit on people's chest and stare into their faces or sniff their breath. People used to believe that they would either steal your soul when you were asleep, or steal your tongue out of your mouth.
it prob sees a sexy filine!
Cats clean their fur, dogs don't. The reason is because cats use the tongue to clean flesh off the bones of their prey, the teeth are different than dogs teeth, made for shearing flesh, the tongue helps them clean up the meal.
A cat will clean itself with its tongue. This is the reason that cats have "sand paper tongue." A cat will lick itself clean. This is how a cat represents homeostasis Locked by Brwoser Lock.
The same way domestic cats do: they have little spoon-like barbs on their tongue, which they dip into the water and scoop up water.
It feels like a cats tongue and if you don't know how that feels it is like sandpaper.
