Are cat bones soft? No, cat bones are hard.

Cat bones are not soft. The cat's body is soft because of its bone structure. Each bone in a cat is relatively short in length and has more joints on the body, so it often shows softness.

The cat's trunk bones include bones with the contours of the spine and chest, totaling 58 to 85 pieces. The bones of the cat's spine are all irregular bones, and the ribs are long arcuate bones. Moreover, these bones are relatively small, and the cat's chest is deep and narrow, which is conducive to the compression of the sternum and makes the body thinner and softer.

In addition, the softness of the kitten is stronger than that of adults, because when young, the bones on the cat's chest include 26 ribs and 8 sternums. When adults, these bones will fuse into one piece, reducing the softness.
