Tongues Of the Feiinse.

All members Of the cat family pos-
sess tongues that are more or less
rough, due to points Of tough cartilage
which cover them. In ordinary house
cats this roughness is very slight, but
in the larger feline species the points
are sometimes fully an eighth Of an
inch long. Ordinarily the tongue ID
soft and smooth, but when the animal
becomes aroused the points become
rigid, making 1t q very dangerous
weapon.
