This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Cat Sensory Systems 091718, Internal Control Mechanism being Pheromone Detection, Internal Control Mechanism being Cats have a tapetum lucidium, Cat Sensory Systems are better developed than humans (know 3 for Post-Topic quiz), improved hunting allowing for increased survival, better developed than humans (know 3 for Post-Topic quiz) including Sight, Interesting Note: Cats have a food temperature preference (100 F) and avoid colder foods that are possibly toxic or decomposing allowing for increased survival, better developed than humans (know 3 for Post-Topic quiz) including Smell, Smell with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, Touch with the Adaptive Function/ Current Utility, pheromones ("aromas") especially when the cat does the "flehmening response" (snorts in air in bursts), Smell with the Adaptive Function/ Current Utility, Adaptive Function/ Current Utility being Eye Protection (Facial Whiskers), Adaptive Function/ Current Utility being Better detection of surroundings (All Whiskers), Internal Control Mechanism being Jacobson's organ (a "vomeronasal" organ), Internal Control Mechanism being Fewer Taste buds (and none for ....) (but plenty that detect "bitter"), less well developed than humans (2) including Taste, Internal Control Mechanism being Whiskers across the body; localized on the face, Hearing with the Internal Control Mechanism, Adaptive Function / Current Utility being Dawn & Dusk (Crepuscular) & Night Vision is improved, Internal Control Mechanism being Cats have larger external ears ("pinnae") that they can move
