Hello everyone, this is Life Force Chiropractic 🎶 Okinawa Prefecture is getting closer to summer!

Ladies and gentlemen, the cat in this photo is our cat King, who has appeared on the blog before, when we picked him up and now. King recently turned one year old! When we picked him up, he was very small at 760g, but now he weighs 4.5kg and is growing up nicely 🎶 and his cuteness is also growing up 🎶 We also have another dog that we started to have around the same time as King, so he has a big athletic meet every day! Both are chasing and being chased at great speed, but the cat is better at running away! I often touch King's bones. I found out that cats and humans are basically categorized in the same way, but cats have 230~250 bones, which is more than humans have (about 206)! Especially the backbone and the tail are said to be the two bones that allow cats to move with their unique flexibility. The most important reason for the softness of the cat's body is the "backbone," which is made up of many small bones (vertebrae), each of which moves well, allowing the entire body to bend flexibly. This allows them to jump high, twist in the air, and disperse the impact of landing! It is indeed thanks to this bone structure that even King is able to move in such an amazingly acrobatic manner! Furthermore, cats do not have distinct clavicles, which allows them to stretch their bodies wide and pass through narrow spaces smoothly. In addition, their hind legs generate the power to jump, while their front legs absorb the shock of landing. The tail is responsible for balance! The bones of all animals, including humans, are the result of evolution in a way that adapts to each way of life and environment! It makes sense when you consider, for example, that animals that specialize in running have long, thin leg bones, animals that swim have skeletons that reduce resistance in water, and birds that fly have bones with a light, airy structure. King~, keep growing up healthy and full of energy 🎶🎶.
