(a) Right lateral, (b) ventral and (c) dorsal view of a cat (Felis catus) skull. Distances recorded for estimation of bite force: (a) SH skull height, dt the distance between the centroid of the temporalis and Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) and c distance between the canine and TMJ; (b) ZAW zygomatic arch width, SL ventral skull length, dm distance between the centroid of the masseter muscle and the TMJ, and the cross-sectional areas of the masseter muscle/pterygoideus muscle (m); and, (c) the cross-sectional area of the temporalis muscle (t).
