About this deal

The researchers found that these scoop-shaped papillae are what allow cats to get saliva right down to their skin, which could inspire new approaches to cleaning and depositing fluids on all kinds of hairy, furry, and fuzzy surfaces. “Transporting liquids is a problem for animals and engineers,” says Sunghwan “Sunny” Jung, a bioengineer at Cornell University who was not involved in the research. “This paper shows that scientists can use the physics of basic animal behavior to answer fundamental questions.” Cat scan The TIGR is the perfect example of bio-inspired design, says Megan Schuknecht, Director of Design Challenges at the Biomimicry Institute in Missoula, Montana. “Cats have been around us for centuries, but nobody’s ever thought to look that closely before,” she says. Still, Jung says the TIGR isn’t yet ready for mass production. “There are a lot of ways it will need to be improved before it’s ready for use in the real world,” he says.

It could also mean a better brush for cats, some of whom despise existing brushes currently on the market. The softness and flexibility of the TIGR may provide something closer to the cat’s own grooming experience that’s more tolerable for them—and their owners. (Related: What are cats trying to tell us with their meows?) The researchers discovered that papillae’s orientation wasn’t fixed. High-speed videos of three short-haired domestic cats grooming showed that the papillae rotate as the cat’s tongue encountered knots in its fur. This rotation let the spike probe even deeper into the fuzzy snarl and ultimately work it loose.First, though, they would need cat tongues. Obtaining samples from deceased domestic cats was straightforward. Getting the tongues of wild cats, not so much. A cat tongue works like a very smart comb,” says David Hu, a bioengineer at Georgia Tech and senior author of the new paper. National Geographic is working to avert the extinction of lions, cheetahs, and other big cats with the Big Cats Initiative, a comprehensive program that supports innovative projects.

Photograph by John Eastcott and Yva Momatiuk Hu and Noel have already filed for a patent for the TIGR and see the brush being used not just for grooming, but also for applying creams and lotions to cat skin without needing to shave the animal, and even for sorting fibers in textiles.
