hard not to marvel at the
sheer resilience of our

the peculiar yet endearing way

motion only This peculiarity

mastication the act of
chewingThe UpandDown SagaWhen
a cat sets its sights on a
meal it begins by tilting its
head and opening its mouth
wide enough to accommodate the
food With lightningfast
reflexes the cats tongue
shoots forward depositing the
sustenance onto the tongues
tip From there the tongue
withdraws and the cats jaw
comes into playIn a slow
deliberate motion the cats
lower jaw descends allowing
its teeth to grasp the food
firmly As it does so the upper
jaw remains stationary forming
a sort of vice that keeps the
prey or in this case kibble
secure This vertical movement
is crucial as it enables the
cat to tear and manipulate the
food into manageable piecesA
