As cats are familiar and easily kept animals, their physiology has been particularly well studied
it generally resembles that of other carnivorous mammals but displays several unusual features probably attributable to cats' descent from desert-dwelling species
For instance, cats are able to tolerate quite high temperatures: Humans generally start to feel uncomfortable when their skin temperature passes about 38°C
but cats show no discomfort until their skin reaches around 52°C and can tolerate temperatures of up to 56°C if they have access to water
