The cat jumps from a high place and will hum. Is it too fat?

is not usually

Why do cats make such a "hum"? There are different speculations...

The reasons that are more scientifically based include:

① When jumping from a very high place, the lungs may experience air pressure changes.

If the cat is exhaling when it lands, it may unconsciously "pull" the excess gas in the lungs out suddenly and make a humming sound.

Usually, you have to jump from a very high place (wardrobe) before you hum

This is somewhat similar to when people are flying/diving, they will unconsciously feel chest tightness/exhale bubbles and exhale air due to changes in lung pressure...

Different submersions, the pressure in and around the lungs

② Of course, if you want to be "unconscious", it must mean that the cat is very relaxed at this moment.

Because if cats are in the wild, they either chase prey or avoid natural enemies... They will be more alert and avoid making noises.

So if your cat always hums while jumping up and down, it also means that he is very relaxed at home.

③Nature published an issue of the study by scientists who recorded and analyzed the jumping postures of cats and cheetahs through high-speed motion cameras.

Scientific researchers found that when a cat jumps, it will first stretch its hind legs to gain more strength; when it lands, it will first touch the ground with its front paws. When the hind legs fall, it will push the ground against the ground and hit the ground, offsetting the potential energy of the landing and avoiding injuries.

Therefore, if the cat is too fat, too heavy, too high in the jumping platform, or the ground is too hard and slippery, it will increase the burden on the cat's front paws, and hum uncomfortable due to the big impact when landing. Could

be to attract the attention of the shoveling owner?

Animal behaviorists speculate that if a cat will usually remind you before jumping or after landing.
