HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Cats do have knees, but they are not as visible as human knees.

The joint that most closely resembles a human knee in cats is the stifle joint.

The stifle joint is located between the femur and tibia bones in the hind legs.

Cats also have a joint called the hock joint, which is similar to the human ankle.

The hock joint is located between the tibia and fibula bones in the hind legs.

Cats are able to jump and climb because of their flexible spine and powerful leg muscles.

Cats' hind legs are longer than their front legs, which gives them the ability to jump great distances.
