No vet ever said it was weird 🤷 i got her when she was 12, she’s 14 now
That’s where all your “nos” go
“earlobe”
It isn’t weird, all cats have that
Edit: quick search says it is called a cutaneous marginal pouch
Edit 2: as someone else said, all domestic cats have it (I should have said this from the get go, I have no idea if mountain lions have it. But mountain lions are very beautiful cats. Big paws. Huggable looking. Not advisable to actually hug.)
Mountain lions are basically the sexiest cat.
🤨
Its called Henry’s Pocket and it’s actually not on all cats (all domestic cats have it is what I mean)
TIL this, being alergic to dogs and cats made this finding difficult to me to discover it till today :D
Suggestion: All domestic cats have this, but not all cats.
Oh neat, that makes sense
I always figured it helped the ear move better, their ears move in all sorts of directions and having a thinner single flap of skin would tear easily. This evolutionary direction let’s it move and be two layers that can move and flex without tearing as easily as one.
Better to hear you opening the treats with!
Dogs have it, too. It was an especially favored location for ticks on my dog Ellie Mae before she passed. Had to check it after every walk
If you pet the cat, it’ll temporarily change the shape of the pocket. Don’t even have to touch the ears for this to work.
