Ooo this one is tricky. So I'm doing some research on the subject and this is what I've found so far:
To restate, the spine is modified, so are their collarbones and shoulder blades. I would specify this within your tags, saying it is some sort of mutation, along with the explanation behind it. Whether that'd be under-developed spines, a rare recessive outcome, etc, is up to you.
Quote:Another factor in cats’ flexibility is that their shoulder blades are attached to the rest of the body only by muscles. Humans’ and dogs’ shoulder blades, on the other hand,form part of the joint that connects the upper arm or foreleg to the body. This allows cats to extend their running stride even more. Their loosely attached shoulder blades, along with tiny rudimentary collar bones, also allow them to squeeze into tiny spaces...
Quote:Moreover, the feline shoulder blade is attached to the rest of the body only by muscles, not by bone. [like canines... . And unlike the long anchored collarbone we humans have, cats have tiny rudimentary collarbones that contribute to their ability to squeeze through tight openings.
