Science Magazine - One Issue Cat lapping frequency Cosmic Rays from Cosmic Birth The Case for RNA Quantum Measurement and control of Single Spins in Diamond Pages 1145-1272 Cover: A domestic cat ( Felis catus ) laps milk by lowering its tongue to touch the liquid surface and then rapidly pulling it up, creating a liquid column, the top of which the animal captures in its mouth before gravity draws it down. Measurements of lapping frequency in domestic and wild cats suggest that this mechanism is conserved among felines and that lapping frequency is tuned to maximize the ingested volume per lap.
