Abstract

The anatomy of the local cat and the Sherazi cat has been studied in order to understand the various overall differences. These two types of cats, which can be known as (Felis catus), belong to the family of felines (Felidae) [1]. 10 samples were collected from the tongue of cats that were attracted to veterinary clinics, and they were divided into 5 samples for each type of cat. Our anatomical study has shown that the tongue is a muscular structure located inside the oral cavity and connected to the lower jaw by the lingual frenulum. The results also showed that the tongue is divided into three regions: apex, body, and root. The study also found the presence of four types of lingual papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue (filiform, fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate papillae). The study also indicated that there is a difference in the relative weight between local cats and the Sherazi cat, and this diversity in weights is attributed to the environmental differences and diversity between the two breeds.
