Your cat's detective skills
Has your cat ever displayed a facial expression that
resembles a grimace? Has he sniffed something and then
held his mouth in a half-opened position, leaving you
to wonder just what was going on in that brain of his?
Cats have a special organ located in the roof of the
mouth known as the Jacobson's Organ. It goes between
the roof of the mouth and the nasal cavity. The
Jacobson's Organ allows the cat to smell and taste a
scent. Why would a cat need to do this? For a thorough
scent investigation.
When a cat comes across an interesting scent, he flicks
the odor up from his tongue to the roof of the mouth.
During this investigation process, his facial expression
looks like a grimace and is known as a flehmen reaction.
The Jacobson's Organ helps a cat determine the scent
originator's sexual availability, gender, and status.
This is important during the mating search. It also
can help prevent physical confrontations as a cat
explores unfamiliar territory.
Cats will also flehmen other interesting scents as well,
and it's very likely you've seen your own cat exhibit
this behavior around the house.
The Jacobson's Organ is a sensory organ that is not
connected with hunting prey, but rather, with social
behavior.

Your cat's eyes
Your cat's eyes are more than just beautiful; they're
exquisite sensory tools. Here are some interesting
facts.
There's a reflective layer at the back of the eye. It
reflects light that wasn't absorbed at first pass. This
layer provides about 40% more efficiency. When you drive
at night and come across that glow in the dark look in
an animal's eyes due to your headlight beam, that's the
work of the reflective layer.
Cats have a 285 degree visual field. Ours is 210 degree.
Movements across a cat's visual field are easier to see
than movements heading toward him.
The prey drive is triggered by movements going away from
him. The pupil can open wider and constrict more tightly
than a human's because the light path to the retina is
shorter.
Cats can't see in total darkness but they can see in
low-light conditions that humans consider totally dark.
Cats have limited color vision. They see blues, grays,
yellows, and greens. Their eyes are geared for movement
rather than color since prey tends to appear during low-
light conditions.
A third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane sits
hidden in the lower corner. Its purpose is to shield
the eye from injury. When a cat walks through brush
or twigs, the third eyelid unfolds to cover the eye.
The nictitating membrane is very sheer so the cat can
still see. The third eyelid also is visible when the
eye is injured or when a cat is sick. In a healthy cat
the eyelid isn't very visible. If you notice it staying
in the unfolded position, it could mean your cat is ill
or injured. A trip to the veterinarian is necessary.
