Question

How do cats drink?
Scientists using highspeed video have
shown that cats use an
interesting technique
to drink aqueous
substances like water
and milk. Four times a
second, the cat touches
the tip of its tongue to
the water and draws
a column of water
up into its mouth (as
you can see in the
photo), which then
shuts before gravity
can pull the water back down. Describe how the properties of
water allow cats to drink in this fashion, including how water’s
molecular structure contributes to the process.
