Man has always been seduced by the art and harmony that the cat develops when hunting and playing.
Its flexibility, its agility and its elegance are remarkable.
This is due, in large part, to a very flexible skeleton made up of between 279 and 282 elongated, thin and fine bones, and to highly flexible joints.
In addition, their clavicles are not welded to the shoulder and thus free their movement.
The cat is capable of turning, stretching, and curling up into a ball at will.
The legs can also rotate fairly widely and the tail can move in all directions without risk of dislocation.
Endowed with very powerful muscles, our feline displays considerable strength in relation to its weight, which explains its jumps to impressive heights (up to five times its height and six times its length), its rapid scales along the trunk of a tree and his fighting prowess.
On the contrary, he cannot sustain a great effort for a long time: the cat is a great sprinter, not a long-distance runner.
His run is a series of long, dashing jumps at a speed at which his stretch is at its maximum.
The slightest of his gestures can be, at the same time, very fast and very precise: a human hand will never equal the leg that "reaps", with all the nails out, never letting its prey escape...
The articular cartilage is a flexible and elastic cushion that reduces friction in the play of the joint and protects the underlying bone by cushioning shocks.
It is a very fragile tissue that can be injured if too strong or too brutal pressure is applied, generated by high weight or joint stress.
In sporting or large cats, or that are aging, a dietary intake of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine is highly recommended.
These two nutrients, naturally present in cartilage, protect it, one by inhibiting its destruction and the other by favoring its synthesis.
