Cats are masters keeping balance, something that is not easy if you go on a bike. In another article we talked about the ma Blogdelamoto rare motorcycles, today you more about motorized cats.

Cats and balance
Cats are able to walk around rooftops and high ledges without any problems. Its ability to perform motion, flexibility makes them true acrobats. The flexible cat's body is adapted to the movement, their legs are designed to climb and walk through narrow spaces. The tail also serves as a tightrope to balance if necessary.
All this is important for the balance of the cat, but especially her ear, the vestibular area. A part of the inner ear that consists of three fluid-filled semicircular canals with thousands of tiny hairs. The movements of the cat's head cause the fluid to move by these canelas and move these little hairs. This sends signals to the brain warning the cat on the leadership, direction and speed of their movements. Why cats even if they have the ability to turn in the air to stand down fall.
The characteristic foot landing after a fall protects cats, provided that the fall is not too large. When
a cat falls comes in an automatic sequence of events that lets you
quickly turn your head as is, horizontal or vertical the body will
follow. The
nerves of the spine can cause the body to turn around, tail acts as a
counterweight and arches his back to absorb the impact once it reaches
the ground. Thus the cat usually successfully landing without injury.
Moto Cats
It is unusual to see cats on a motorcycle, so what is most striking of these videos. At
first no cat gets used to the bike, the animals prefer to have their
feet on the ground and control them speed and a motorcycle is unstable
and fast. However, if a cat becomes familiar with the bike, climb to it
being stop and go on the bike owner may eventually be able to climb as
we see in these videos.
The important thing is to never go up on a motorcycle to a cat by a conventional road as it can startle and cause an accident. Another thing is along a country road one or a zone free circulation. Keep in mind when driving a vehicle should not have distractions and keep a cat on a motorcycle that's enough distraction. You can upload the cat in a basket or bag for convenient transportation gets anchored to the vehicle.
This video is very special, Rastus ⇧ are the cat and its owner Max motorcycle enthusiast. In
the video goes Stanley Park in Vancouver in Canada, in 1993. The video
was taken by a camera that had a mountain bike following them. Unfortunately the video today is a testimony of those happy days. In 1998, five years after the recording of these images Max, the
cat Rastus and another person who was in the back seat of the motorcycle
died in an accident caused by a driver who was drunk.
In this video we see another Sea and Kira with her cat Morgana for a ride on the bike. No doubt the cat was terrified and went on to fall to 9 times before finishing the trip.
