differences between cat muscles and humans?

Maybe the fact that a cats body is structured very different to ours, there is going to be tons of differences!

similar structures with different functions...\n\nBats arms and human arms have similar structure, but different function. Bats wings fly and we use our hands for dexterity

hi yes,  there are cervil cats in south africa (wild)  they are a bit bigger than your average house cat, not as big as a lynx.  with pointy hair growing out of their ears. they're sort of a light caramel colour

the heart and lungs in a cat are pretty much similar to a humans. They are about the same size as very small plate, maybe about 5 inches long, 3-4 inches wide, and maybe only about 1-2 inches thick.  The heart is very near these, placed inbetween the lungs like in the human body.  The heart is somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a light bulb depending upon the size of the cat.

Isn't this something they're trying to teach you at school? Think of the origins and insertions of these muscles, and of the movements achieved when each muscle layer contracts. Look at the pictures in any good Comparative Anatomy book and check the difference between the muscles of fishes and tetrapods (hint: new feature- lungs).

very little is different - their are more similarities in fact.. both are made of cells and their cells are very similair until you get to DNA structure.. but even that is somewhat similar.. both have hair, give live birth, produce milk for their young (both are mammals). both have vertibrae, ribs, legs, etc.. similar bones just some are longer than others in different parts of their bodies.. both need to eat and both produce waste.. both value their lives equally\n\nthe few differences are one eats meat the other is strictly vegetarian.  Deer have longer limbs for running and eyes widely spaced to see a preditor and set on a longer neck.. Lions have close set eyes designed for locking onto prey, they have claws for catching as opposed to hoofs for running, and stronger forelimbs - build to kill\ndeer - built to run

6060.  There are 1296 kittens, that makes 5184 kitten legs.  There are 216 cats, that makes 864 cat legs, and there are 6 guys, that makes 12 human legs.  6060 legs in total.

Much like cats, people are quite resistant to any sort of rules or change that are being forced upon them; they react much better if they are gently led.\n\nSee his book "Managing People is Like Herding Cats"

The distinction between feral cats and stray cats. How are they different? How are they the same?\n\nShould people be allowed to remove them from their property if they become a nuisance? Why, or why not?

No, there are fairly major differences in their fine skeletal anatomy, especially their teeth that indicate that cats and lemurs evolved from completely different lineages of early mammals.\n\nThe primates (such as the lemurs) evolved from an insectivore lineage, and the earliest primates back in the Cretaceous would have looked rather similar to the modern tree shrew (Order Scandentia).\n\nThe carnivores evolved from condylarth stock (which also gave rise to the ungulates and the whales eventually), through early predators like Cimolestes, the cohort Ferae and from earlier Carnivores very similar to the Viverrids.  Modern civets and genets are probably most like the very early cats.

While humans are animals there are few things that make us different from the other animals.  Much in the same way cats are different than dogs.\n\nPhysical (not all of these are unique to humans but the combination of all them is)  \nBrain size: brains take up a larger mass relative to size \nour thumbs\nwalk upright on two feet \nno fur (yes we have a little but not much)\nchildhood is much longer\n\nHumans are able to use abstract thoughts more proficiently than our animal cousins (math, art, language)\nWe can refine tools.  Other animals use tools, (chimps elephants) but they don't refine them.\nHumans can pass on information over many generations\n\nThis is not exclusive list, but I believe I have hit some of the most important points

According to the text: "Principles of Anatomy and Physiology" by Tortora and Grabowski, 7th edition,1993, there are "nearly 700 skeletal muscles in the human body." These are the named voluntary muscles and range in size from a few millimeters in length (the stapedius in a middle ear) to the massive thigh quadriceps (perhaps 45-50 cm in length in large adult males).

In the domestic cat, Felis sylvestris, the cardiovascular system, compared to humans, is much, much smaller.

most animals get desexed and I dun think humans actually haveto get.......ye well um animals have funny pointy ears, r more furrier than humans, hav soft fur, some pets hav hilarious features that humans cannot do. And my kitten got attacked lyk every week and is still living up to having a bandage wrapped around it's tail as for the skin was peeling off like 4times, it had fights with bigger cats trying to protect it's home, has a sore muscle, has a broken foot and has a few stitches on it's arms. It goes really well and I dun think humans can actuakly survive very healthily with many injuries happening every week.

It's largely about torque, and humans, in the way they are designed structurally (bone structure, muscle strength, and position of tendons- which connect the muscles to the bones) cannot produce enough torque to translate into the speed of a cheetah.\n\nOur arms and legs are really levers. A lever turns about a fulcrum. This is similar to the way a see-saw is designed. If you have ever sat on one, you will have noticed that the farther away from the fulcrum you are (the fulcrum being the center point), the more force- (or what we call  "torque") you can generate. While cheetahs do have strong muscles (the size of the muscle also counts), they have the advantage that their tendons are attached farther away from their "fulcrums", which are the joints. Just as with the see-saw principle, they can generate more torque with the same amount of force, which means that even if a cheetah and a human had the same muscle mass, the cheetah would be much stronger, and faster.\n\nCheetahs are also able to generate a substantial amount of power for short bursts of time. This has to do with the muscle type. All animals have two major types of muscle: slow twitch and fast twitch. The fast twitch muscles are capable of enormous bursts of power for short duration, while slow twitch provide more steady amounts of power over prolonged distances.  Fast twitch muscles generally do not use aerobic (oxygen-based) energy, instead relying on the conversion of sugars like glucose in the absence of oxygen. Cheetahs have a higher percentage of these fast-twitch muscles and they can generate enormous amounts of power for te short bursts they require to catch prey. But their evolution has cost them because they are otherwise very thin and lack bulk- meaning they can expend up to half of their energy reserves in one hunt alone. Had they had more of the slow-twitch muscles, they would be better able to conserve their energy, but at the cost of speed and power.

I like both but prefer cats because they are laid back and independent. My cat is very cuddly and could spend all day in my lap but she isn't aggressive in obtaining affection the way dogs tend to be. I hate it when dogs demand loving and lick my face. Yuck!

most mammals have four appendages, they just evolved differently. humans evolved into arms and legs with very different uses. rodent type animals have front feet they can use as hands, as do most monkeys. beasts of burden and their predators maintained four legs for obvious reasons.
