Researchers at MIT, Virginia Tech and Princeton University say our feline
|
|
friends use a combination of fluid dynamics, gravity and inertia ratios to
|
|
draw up a column of milk.
|
|
|
|
Unlike dogs, there is no 'scooping' involved. In fact cats' tongues only
|
|
barely touch the surface of the milk.
