Hey ! Let's learn about cats!
What is a cat?
The cat is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.A cat can either be a house cat, a farm cat, or a
feral cat; the feral cat ranges freely and avoids human contact. Domestic cats are valued by humans for
companionship
and their ability to kill rodents.
About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.The cat has a strong flexible body, quick
reflexes, sharp teeth, and retractable claws adapted to killing
small prey.Its night vision and sense of smell are well developed. Cat communication includes vocalizations
like meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting as well as cat-specific body language.
Cats have very large eyes with big pupils that help them see in the dark, as well as paws with claws, furry
bodies with tails, whiskers on their face and ears that point straight out from their head. Their pupils
change
shape depending on their level of stimulus. For example, a cat that is enjoying a hunt will have enlarged
pupils. A relaxed cat will have thin pupils.
