papillae
Cats have a very unique way of drinking. When they drink their tongues curl downwards. That is how the cat drinks. It is a very fast process, but that is what happens how cats drink.
Yes. Domestic cats tongues are also rough. This lets them scrape the flesh off their prey.Try putting a bit of your cat's favorite treat on the back of your hand and offer it to her. -firstmate-
Yes. Dogs have an antibacterial quality to their saliva which contributes to their magnificantly clean mouths.
Hello there, id say it has to do with grooming and picking up hair by the tongue. I used to work at a pet store if that's any help. But maybe asking a vet would be better. Anyway that's all i have to say lol. :oD Catch! Well; cats may have rough tongues to this as an extra; but it's shown that they have rough tongues which actually have some kind of small cup like bits on their tongues which allow them to lap up water because their tongues are so small unlike dogs who have larger tongues allowing them to drink water alot easier without the need for these cup like bits. Cats are particular about cleanliness and the rough tongues help with this. Dogs are more laid back and wait for people to wash them.
Cats' tongues are bristly and sandpapery because they use their tongues to clean and groom their fur. The rough surface brushes the fur, sort of like a hairbrush, and helps remove the loose, dead hairs.
cats have tongues to ball up there chewed food and to force there food down the throught.
Cats have well developed papillae; this is why their tongues feel like sandpaper when they try to groom you.
Cats use their tongues to help them eat and drink. They do not sip water as humans do, they lap it up with their tongues. Watch them some time.
You can make and find them in dogs tongues and cats tongues.
Same as yours.
They lap it up with their tongues like other cats. Unlike dogs, however, cats bring the water up under their tongues.

They like to do that themselves, with their tongues of course.
Cats' and dogs' tongues are different from people's. Their tongues are flat, while people's and parrots' tongues are fleshy.
no...extremely rough in order to facilitate both feeding and grooming.
It might be because cats have a smelling pallet on the inside of they're mouth right behind the upper lip and under the nose.
