If you’re ever trapped on a lifeboat with a cat in the middle of the ocean, rest assured that the cat will likely survive because cats can actually drink sea water. Their kidneys can expel salt from sea water, allowing the cat to drink and survive while any humans in a lifeboat will perish from dehydration. So who says people are superior to cats just because they have opposable thumbs?
