* Cats: Yes, cats have an appendix.
* Dogs: Yes, dogs have an appendix.
* Horses: No, horses do not have an appendix.
Why the difference?
The appendix is a small, finger-like pouch that extends from the colon. It's thought to play a role in the immune system, but its exact function in humans and some animals is still debated.
Horses have a different digestive system than cats and dogs. Their digestive system is designed to efficiently break down tough plant material, and they don't need an appendix for that purpose.
