US scientists have discovered that the mechanism of cat drinking water shows that it is completely unlike the way many people find it is to lick the water instead of water.
The action of drinking water from cats is quite fast and mature and the human eye cannot be seen.

The New York Times said scientists have installed a high-speed camcorder and scientific computing equation to discover how cats drink water without wetting their chin.
Unlike animals, humans can pinch their mouths to drink water so that their chin does not get wet. That is the great achievement that people have in the ladder of evolution. However, many other animals including carnivores must resort to a much more sophisticated drinking tactic to overcome the ' inferiority ' of evolution.
For dogs, drinking water is a hard work. Normally, dogs will lick their tongue into the water bowl to create strong impulses to push the liquid into the mouth but make the water move irregularly and splatter. Meanwhile, cats are much more intelligent and precise.
A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Virginia and Princeton Polytechnic Institute, decided to study the cat's water-drinking mechanism in depth and discovered interesting secrets about ' tiger cubs ' This dick.
Scientists have discovered that in instinct, cats calculate quite well the balance between the two forces is gravity and inertial force.
In the slow-motion video, the cat stretches his tongue into a loop down to the water and gently touches the surface of the water. Next, the tongue quickly curled up at high speed and dragged a large amount of water below to follow the momentum of inertia. In a split second, gravity will overcome the impulse of water and pull a large amount of water back. At that moment, the cat's jaws will grab water and swallow.
The interesting finding of this study is that cats have a speed of licking water 4 times within a second - a speed too fast to see with the naked eye.
