Sporting a large head, expressive eyes and a friendly disposition, the Chihuahua fits into the lifestyle of many types of households. Many (not all) cats live in hot climates, so this would be really important for their survival. The researchers looked at the tongues of several species of cat, including domestic cat, bobcat, cougar, snow leopard, tiger and lion. Ease of cat grooming as indicated by fur and papillae geometry. ( A) Schematic of cat grooming its own fur. The tongue compresses the fur and then travels to the right. ( B) Close-up view of the fur before and after compression. When the tongue pushes down, fur depth h fur and porosity ϵ both decrease. Papillae and hairs are exaggerated for clarity. ( C) Relationship between the compressed fur height h fur and papillae height h papillae. The dashed line, h papillae = h fur, indicates the separation between groomable and ungroomable cats. An ideal guard dog for anyone with experience in handling and training dogs, the Dogue de Bordeaux – also known as the French Mastiff or the Bordeaux Bulldog – has the versatility of being a strong, fearless guard but also having gentleness around the house, including with children. Like other guard dogs, it will need to be raised in a way that socializes it with other dogs and with people so that it understands who represents a real threat and who does not. There is no definitive answer when it comes to which brush is best for watercolor painting. Different brushes can offer different advantages and disadvantages, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Some artists prefer natural hair brushes for their absorbency and ability to hold a lot of paint, while others prefer synthetic brushes for their precision and durability. Ultimately, the best brush is the one that allows you to create the type of paintings that you want to create.

First, though, they would need cat tongues. Obtaining samples from deceased domestic cats was straightforward. Getting the tongues of wild cats, not so much.

Manufacturers may also make up new, modern descriptions for brush shapes: for instance traditional ‘Bright’ brushes are now sometimes rechristened more descriptively as ‘Short Flats’ by the companies that produce them. Sometimes a brush shape may also be named differently depending on what sort of bristles or hairs it contains. For example the ‘Flat’ brush and ‘Wash’ brush are identical in shape, but a brush is only called a ‘Wash’ if it is designed for watercolour painting and is made from very soft hairs. The researchers discovered that papillae’s orientation wasn’t fixed. High-speed videos of three short-haired domestic cats grooming showed that the papillae rotate as the cat’s tongue encountered knots in its fur. This rotation let the spike probe even deeper into the fuzzy snarl and ultimately work it loose. Hu and Noel have already filed for a patent for the TIGR and see the brush being used not just for grooming, but also for applying creams and lotions to cat skin without needing to shave the animal, and even for sorting fibers in textiles. Just when you think you’ve gotten all the dog breeds figured out, you take a look at a dog that looks like a Maltese and find out that it’s not a Maltese at all – it’s actually a Bichon Frise. Fantastic! More time studying dog breeds is clearly called for, which means you get to expand your knowledge of pets just a little more. A study by researchers Alexis Noel and David Hu at the Georgia Institute of Technology published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in Atlanta examined cats’ tongues via CT scans, high-speed videos and thermal imaging.

The Dogue de Bordeaux has the versatility of being a strong, fearless guard but also having gentleness around the house. A cat tongue works like a very smart comb,” says David Hu, a bioengineer at Georgia Tech and senior author of the new paper. In this study, we highlighted one function of the papillae, but it is possible that there may be others. Previous studies suggest that papillae shape may help the cat with gripping food during eating ( 30). The sharp tip may help with tissue deformation and penetration into meat. It may also play a role in stimulating the cat’s own skin during grooming. This dog can be considered a large toy dog and, while it looks similar to the Maltese, does have some distinctions that make it a breed in and of itself. And although the fluffy white coat can intimidate potential dog owners who don’t like the idea of a lot of grooming, the Bichon Frise is surprisingly low-maintenance, meaning that they’re not big shedders and won’t be a hamper on that roommate of yours with dog allergies.
