[Cats] Wednesday's trivia question

[M. Anna Hanson]

Cats take several laps with their tongue, squeezing it against the  
roof of their mouth to flatten the little barbs on their tongue which  
hold the liquid, then swallow the accumulated fluids.  I haven't had  
dogs in a long time, but seem to recall they lapped and swallowed in a  
1:1 sort of ratio... but I could be wrong.

No way are these questions annoying!  I'm enjoying reading answers and  
anticipating your next "brain buster"!
