    TLDR Cats' hairy skin has different touch receptors connected by myelinated fibers.
    The 1968 study by Burgess, Petit, and Warren investigated mechanoreceptors in the hairy skin of cats supplied by myelinated fibers, identifying various types that are crucial for sensory perception of touch. The research enhanced the understanding of mechanoreceptor function and distribution, offering insights into sensory processing in mammals.
