do cats manage to rotate their
ears 180 degrees It all comes
down to a combination of
muscles and bone structure The

bones the ossicles that
connect to the skull via a
small joint called the
incudomalleolar jointWhen a
cat wants to move its ear it
contracts the stapedius muscle
one of those 32 muscles we

the incudomalleolar joint to
flex This movement allows the
ear to pivot around its axis

range of motionThe Importance

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
