N.J. pets in need: July 8, 2019

Some fun and interesting facts about cats and dogs from Nationwide pet insurance:

Dogs only sweat from the bottoms of their feet, the only way they can discharge heat is by panting. Cats do not have sweat glands.

Dogs have about 100 different facial expressions, most of them made with the ears.

A cat can jump as much as seven times its height.

Dogs do not have an appendix.

Cats have over 100 vocal sounds, while dogs only have about 10.

Using their swiveling ears like radar dishes, experiments have shown that dogs can locate the source of a sound in 6/100ths of a second.

A cat's tongue is scratchy because it's lined with papillae—tiny elevated backwards hooks that help to hold prey in place.
