adorable little toes are not
just for scratching and
climbing theyre also
responsible for regulating the
cats body temperatureWhen a
cat is feeling hot or stressed
its paws start to produce a
special type of fluid that
helps to cool down the animal
This process is called paw
sweating or digital
thermoregulation As the cats
paw pads release this
moisturerich substance it
helps to dissipate heat and
keep the felines internal
temperature in checkTousle
