Cats are amazing ❤️
have a small fold of skin on their outer ear? 🐱 This small fold of skin is also known as 'Henry’s pocket', but its formal name is a 'cutaneous marginal pouch'. The reason for the evolution of this feature is still unclear, but it is thought to assist in filtering sounds to improve detection of higher pitch or frequency, which is useful for cats when they are engaging in predatory behaviours, such as hunting prey.
It could also help the ear to fold flat against the cat's head. Cats may flatten and rotate their ears when they are feeling protective emotions such as fear, anxiety and/or pain. Cats actually have thirty-two individual muscles in each ear that allow them to move their outer ears independently of each other, and because of the large concentration of muscles within a small area, the ears have a diverse range of movement, allowing each ear to rotate 180 degrees!
