It was once thought that a cat drank liquids by spoon them into its mouth, but thanks to high-speed video cameras, we know that it is more of a catapult motion that launches the liquid into its throat. This research by MIT and Princeton has shown that a cat can do four laps every second, with each swipe of the tongue bringing in 0.1 millimeters of fluid.
I wonder if dog lap up their water in a similar manner.
