    Cats, dogs, and humans have differences in their skeletons. While cats and dogs have more similar skeletons to each other as carnivores, their skulls, torsos, limbs, hands/feet, hips, and tails differ from humans. Specifically, cats and dogs have longer muzzles than humans, more flexible spines, equal length limbs, walk on their toes, and have tails, while humans have flat faces, a dominant braincase, can reach over their heads, have longer legs than arms, use their entire feet, and only have a coccyx remaining from their tail.

    Differences Between a Cat, Dog,

    & Human Skeleton

    Cats, dogs and humans have most of the same bones, but they are significantly
    different from each other. Cats and dogs, in the order Carnivora, are more like each
    other than either is like humans.

    Skull
    Cats and dogs have long muzzles (longer in dogs than in cats) with grasping and
    tearing teeth; humans have a flat-faced skull and less specialized teeth. The braincase
    dominates the human skull but is relatively smaller in cats and dogs.
    Torso

    Cats' and dogs' shoulder bones are designed to support the weight of the upper body.
    Cats' and dogs' flexible spines act like a suspension bridge, while the human spine acts
    like a support column.

    Limbs
    Unlike cats and dogs, humans can reach over their heads because of our shoulder
    structure. Human legs are longer than the arms, while in cats and dogs, they are
    approximately equal.
    Hands and feet

    Cats and dogs walk on their toes while humans use the entire foot. Human hands are
    unique, as are cats' retractable claws.
    Hips and tail

    Because humans are bipedal, the pelvis is rotated relative to cats' and dogs'. The
    coccyx is all that remains of the human tail
