@adcc.teeftakers: Did you know a cat’s tongue is covered in tiny, backward-facing spines called papillae? 🐱 These specialized structures are made of keratin (the same material as our fingernails) and act like a built-in comb! They help cats groom their coats, remove loose hair, and even strip meat from bones. In this video, what initially looks like dark pigmentation on the tongue turns out to be tiny pieces of felt fabric caught in those little spines! Cat tongues are fascinating little pieces of evolutionary engineering! ❤️ #animaldentalcentercypress #catanatomy #felinefacts #catsoftiktok #sandpapertongue
