Cat got your tongue?

Anyone who has ever felt a cat's tongue knows it is covered with sharp barbs. The barbs are useful for grooming - they act like the teeth in combs. For a long time, people thought cats used these barbs as tiny buckets to carry liquid to the mouth for swallowing. Slow-motion movies provide proof that that is not the way a cat's tongue works.
