The findings could also be used to develop a new hairbrush for human grooming. “We’ve already submitted a technology disclosure form and intend to file a patent within the next year,” said Noel. The study found that the small, sharp spines are shaped like scoops and are hollow at the tips. These hollow cavities absorb saliva, which is later distributed on the hair coat when the cat grooms itself. That’s why we are super excited about a new Roomba-esque robot created by and named Beetl that will roam your yard looking for the dropped deuces and scoop them up for you. Like magic.

A recent study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, shed new light on how cats’ scratchy tongues enable them to keep themselves so clean: they’re covered with hundreds of sharp, tiny hooks called filiform papillae. The hooks, which are composed of keratin and give cats’ tongues that scratchy sandpaper feel, have built-in scoops that carry saliva deep into felines’ fur when they groom. The family Felidae roamed the Earth for 11 million y before being domesticated 10,000 y ago in Southwest Asia ( 1). Today, house cats can spend up to 24% of their waking time grooming their fur coat ( 2). Grooming helps the cat to remove pesky fleas, loose hairs, and excess heat ( 3 – 5). In the absence of grooming, excess debris can tangle fur, causing painful tugging of the skin and even infection. Grooming a cat’s fur is challenging due to its two layers: an exposed topcoat for protection and a hidden undercoat of down hairs for warmth ( 6). So, which cat brushes reign supreme? According to the pros, these are the best brushes you can buy:The researchers found that these scoop-shaped papillae are what allow cats to get saliva right down to their skin, which could inspire new approaches to cleaning and depositing fluids on all kinds of hairy, furry, and fuzzy surfaces. “Transporting liquids is a problem for animals and engineers,” says Sunghwan “Sunny” Jung, a bioengineer at Cornell University who was not involved in the research. “This paper shows that scientists can use the physics of basic animal behavior to answer fundamental questions.” Cat scan If you don’t spend the full value of the gift card, the remainder stays as a balance on the gift card for you to use another time. This means if you own a Persian you need to take the time to brush them, or else matts form and can damage their skin and lead to infections. But here’s where the scientists made another breakthrough. A new brush Before you even go to adopt a dog from a shelter, you need to decide the right kind of dog for your family. Is there a certain breed that works better for your home environment and lifestyle? Do you have kids and other animals in the household? Do you have an active or sedentary lifestyle? Can you step up to the plate and be the leader your dog needs? These are all important questions you need to answer before you adopt a dog from a shelter. The class is “very integrative and interdisciplinary,” Mountcastle said. “The students are learning a little bit about 3D design, they’re learning about 3D printing, they’re learning about designing experiments to test the hypothesis, and they get to look at a lot of cool biological adaptations.”

When you find a potential dog, approach the cage carefully and calmly so it sniff you. Don’t be alarmed if a shelter dog growls or barks at you – it may be wary of strangers, especially since so many come through the shelter every day. Take the dog out of its cage (with the assistance of the shelter staff, or course) and take it for a walk. Keep in mind that this dog probably has some pent up energy and is raring to go (hey, you would too if you were kept in a cage all day). Use a painter’s brush to make your painting look more painterly. A standard brush has a tuft that is wider and bristles that are per inch wider. They work well for detailed work and require little color to be applied at once. Which Brush Is Best For Watercolor? Each student group in Assistant Professor of Biology Andrew Mountcastle’s class made a brush modeled on a real cat tongue, as well as a brush with a modification. Eve Cinquino ’19 of Bethlehem, Pa., and Erin Murphy ’21 of North Andover, Mass., chose to change the angle of the papillae. (Phyllis Graber Jensen/Bates College) Don’t rip through tangles. If you hit a snarl or a mat, don’t rip through and cause any discomfort. Instead, take your time and gently work at the snarl to untangle it. If your cat has a mat forming, make sure you’re dealing with matted fur correctly before it becomes a bigger problem. “NEVER USE SCISSORS!” Matthes warned. “Kitty mats are often attached to skin, and you can cause injury.” Characterful names for brush shapes have emerged over time from various different painting traditions (the ‘Rigger’ brush shape, for example, derives from the type of brush traditionally used for painting the rigging of ships). This has resulted in the fact that there isn’t any industry standard for describing different brush types, and whilst the names are applied by manufacturers reasonably consistently, there are sometimes confusing overlaps. For example although the terms ‘Rigger’ ‘Liner’ and ‘Script’ technically describe slightly different shapes of brush head, they are often applied interchangeably.It could also mean a better brush for cats, some of whom despise existing brushes currently on the market. The softness and flexibility of the TIGR may provide something closer to the cat’s own grooming experience that’s more tolerable for them—and their owners. (Related: What are cats trying to tell us with their meows?) This 4μl is only around 5% of the total saliva on the surface of the cat’s tongue. Not much, but it has a really important function as it can deposit saliva right down to a cat’s skin. 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. And you don’t have to worry about keeping it clean – the KoolDog’s main body can be wiped clean using a damp cloth, while the cushion cover comes off so you can throw it in the washing machine. You can to assemble this indoor dog house yourself, but it only takes about five minutes and you don’t need any tools.

The researchers write that, “The TIGR brush experiences lower grooming forces than a normal hairbrush and is easier to clean.” Mountcastle became interested in the brushing potential of cat tongues after reading a scholarly article arguing that a brush modeled on the tongues requires less force than a regular brush to get through a section of hair. He decided to have his students design their own cat-tongue brushes, then test their effectiveness. Kinematics of cat grooming. ( A) A domestic cat grooms its fur. ( B) Close-up view of its tongue showing the anisotropic papillae, which point to the left toward the throat. ( C) The four phases of cat grooming. ( D and E) Thermal images of a cat grooming its leg. White colors are hottest and dark blue colors are coolest as shown by the legend on the right. During the groom ( D), fur is separated by the motion of the tongue, exposing the skin. Heat from the tongue and the skin are indicated by the white color. After the groom ( E), evaporation causes a temperature drop of 17 ° C as shown by the dark purple. As a result of multigenerational breeding, Puggles have gained incredible popularity in the U.S. Seemingly everyone wants one of these pups. In fact in 2005, the Puggle became the most widely owned crossbreed dog in history! Keeping in mind the popularity of designer dogs and hybrids in general, this says a lot about the Puggle. These dogs didn’t get so popular by accident. They deserve and earn their love.This means cats can lose around a quarter of the total heat they need to lose per day through the tiny bit of saliva in their tongue spines. (We lose heat through liquid by sweating when we’re hot.) Cool for cats

Although the Dogue de Bordeaux took a heavy hit during the French Revolution, it regained its numbers throughout the years and a man named Raymond Triquet helped it to survive by taking the breed under his wing. ldquo;The idea behind Kooldog house is that as a pet lover, I couldn’t find any dog house that is modern and can fit into my home décor,” said Ki Park, one of the brains behind KoolDog. “I love minimalistic approach in decorating my home, I truly believe that less is more and having one perfect piece of furniture is better than filling the room with stuff.Fig. 3 C shows the relationship between compressed fur height and papillae height for 20 cats. For six cats, the papillae height was measured directly; for the remaining 14 cats, a tongue sample was not available, and therefore, we used the average cat papillae height of h papillae = 2.3 ± 0.2 mm. Two distinct regimes are evident depending on the height of the compressed fur. If a cat’s papillae can penetrate through its compressed fur and touch the skin ( h papillae ≥ h fur), the cat can successfully groom itself. The caracal, cheetah, and leopard are the most “groomable” cats due to their short, sparse fur. Even the snow leopard, known for its plush fur, can easily groom itself. Its fur is long but sparse, and therefore, its compressed fur has a height of only 0.6 mm, which is easily penetrated by its papillae. Noel now has plans to study the tongues of larger cats including tigers and lions to understand how tongue spines scale across the rest of the cat family. “The flexibility of cats' tongue spines may have broad-reaching applications from an easy-to-clean hairbrush to wound cleaning within the medical field,” said Noel. Sporting a large head, expressive eyes and a friendly disposition, the Chihuahua fits into the lifestyle of many types of households. The best reason to adopt a dog from a shelter – you’ve just made a loyal friend for life.
