Cats also possess rather loose [[skin]]; this enables them to turn and confront a predator or another cat in a fight, even when it has a grip on them. This is also an advantage for [[Veterinary medicine|veterinary]] purposes, as it simplifies [[Injection (medicine)|injections]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Vaccinate Your Cat at Home| url=http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=87|accessmonthday=October 18 |accessyear=2006}}</ref> In fact, the life of cats with [[kidney failure]] can sometimes be extended for years by the regular injection of large volumes of fluid subcutaneously, which serves as an alternative to [[dialysis]].<ref>{{cite web | title=The Cat Comes Back|url=http://www.wgrz.com/news/columnist/RKellman/KellmansCorner_article.aspx?storyid=37606|accessmonthday=October 18 |accessyear=2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=How to Give Subcutaneous Fluids to a Cat| url=http://www.wikihow.com/Give-Subcutaneous-Fluids-to-a-Cat|accessmonthday=October 18 |accessyear=2006}}</ref> |

The particularly loose skin at the back of the neck is known as the ''scruff'', and is the area by which a mother cat grips her kittens to carry them. As a result, cats have a tendency to relax and become quiet and passive when gripped there. This tendency often extends into adulthood, and can be useful when attempting to treat or move an uncooperative cat. However, since an adult cat is quite a bit heavier than a kitten, a pet cat should never be carried by the scruff, but should instead have their weight supported at the rump and hind legs, and also at the chest and front paws. Often (much like a small child) a cat will lie with its head and front paws over a person's shoulder, and its back legs and rump supported under the person's arm. |

Cats have highly specialized [[tooth|teeth]] and a [[gastrointestinal tract|digestive tract]] suitable to the digestion of meat. The [[premolar]] and [[Molar (tooth)|first molar]] together compose the [[carnassial]] pair on each side of the mouth, which efficiently functions to shear meat like a pair of [[scissors]]. While this is present in [[Canidae|canines]], 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]] and assist in their grooming. |
