They do not use their mouth at all for water consumption. In fact, they have their skin to do this task for their body. They breathe and drink through their skin. They tend to absorb all the moisture in the environment and that itself suffices as their water consumption.

They are known to have a tongue that is fastest in the work it does. They can spread it up to 1.5 times of their own body length and that is why they do not need to go very close to the water body to consume the water. Since their tongue is quick, they can quickly have the water and move away, without anybody noticing it!

The bats use their tongue as a conveyor belt to hold the nectar and then slurp it in. The tongue is just used for that, and the bats DO NOT use their tongue to drink in water. Another interesting fact about the drinking habit of bats is that they just do not have the thirst for water, but also for blood, which they get from the prey they feed on.

They use their tongue like an elastic micropump. They just use the tip of their tongue and soak it completely in the water. This tip soaks up all the water or nectar the body needs and then once the bird is done slurping, the nectar or water is spread to all the other body parts.

Dogs and cats have a normal way of drinking water, but the way they shape their mouth and tongue while drinking water is what makes them unique. They make their tongues turn into cups and then keep slurping till the cup is full. Then they swallow it in and it thus goes into their stomach.

Having a cat with you can never make you feel alone! It’s like your family. No need to stick with the whole day to show them love and care, no hassle to make them learn manners, no need to guard them always. They know what HOME feels like and they will come back. They understand unlike the dogs or any other pets. There is just nothing extra to contribute on a cat! Also, there are endless scopes of entertainment, just like these Funny Pictures of Cats being Naughty when you have a delightful cat as a companion.
