Why Do Cats Have That Weird Ear Flap?
Okay, fellow pet parents, I have a burning question: what’s the deal with that tiny pocket/flap thing on the side of my cat’s ear? I swear, every time I’m petting my cat, my finger finds it and I’m like, is this normal? Is it a secret button? Did evolution just get bored?
I tried Googling it and apparently it’s called a "Henry’s pocket" (which sounds like a British snack, tbh). Some say it helps cats hear high-pitched sounds, others think it’s just leftover anatomy from their wild ancestors. My cat, meanwhile, acts like I’ve discovered a forbidden zone and gives me the side-eye if I touch it.
Anyone else obsessed with weird pet anatomy? Or is it just me? Please tell me your pets have equally mysterious body parts, because I’m starting to think cats are just little aliens in fur suits.
