Thanks to the unconscious awareness of the position of their head in space, these cats develop an excellent balance.

This is due to the structure of the inner ear: the vestibular apparatus and the refined work done in synergy by the tendon and muscle receptors.

These send information to the brain which, in turn, is ready to quickly correct the movement to keep the cat in balance.

Always in balance .. or almost

This mechanism always works except in some moments of deep sleep.
