Cubby's Tongue - Caught him with his mouth open
Cubby's Tongue - Not a good macro but their tongues are much different than a dogs - The tongue of a cat has tiny, backward-facing barbs (papillae) on it and they’re the things that create that rough sensation. The barbs serve several important functions. They make it easier for a cat to rasp the meat from the bones of his prey. The barbs also aid in grooming as they collect dirt, debris and loose hair from the cat’s coat.
