Do cats have a high pain tolerance
I have two 7 month old cats who are health and very active.
Sometimes when they chase themselves around the house, they sometimes bump themselves on a chair or table leg with a resounding "thunk". Yet, they don't even seem to break stride. If I were to engage a piece of furniture with the same force, I think I would be moaning and hopping around for a while. Do cats have a high threshhold for pain? It would make sense for an animal with respect to survival. Al Kondo |

Yes, they do.

Showing weakness is not good for survival. -- -- ~kaeli~ "No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously." http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
