Question

So, if a cat has two arms and two legs, why is it called a four-legged animal?

Answer 1

Then it is not a four legged animal, but a cat who know who he or she is.  Something to ponder,  The cat owns us, and we are the servants.

Answer 2

The definition of a leg is a supporting limb to walk on, so judging by this the cat has four legs.

However!!! The cat does have a scapula and clavicles which are where the arms would be.  Since a cat walks on the upper limbs, they are considered legs.

Answer 9

You are cute! :-)

My cat has arms and legs too cause she uses her arms to play, reach, hunt and touch.

I think we need to feel kinship with animals in our world in order to have a better planet. Otherwise we just feel defensively superior all the time and wreck the earth for all living things.
