Cat anatomy
The anatomy of the domestic cat is similar to that of other members of the genus ''Felis''. ==Mouth==
Cats have highly specialized teeth for the killing of prey and the tearing of meat. The ''premolar'' and ''first molar'', together the ''carnassial pair'' are located on each side of the mouth. These teeth efficiently function to shear meat like a pair of scissors. While this is present in canids, it is highly developed in felines. The cat's tongue has sharp spines, or ''papillae'', useful for retaining and ripping flesh from a carcass. These papillae are small backward-facing hooks that contain keratin which also assist in their groom. The cat's oral structures provide for a variety of vocalizations used for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.
