The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small
carnivorous mammal.[1][2] It is the only domesticated species in the
family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to
distinguish it from the wild members of the family.[4] A cat can either
be a house cat, a farm cat or a feral cat; the latter ranges
freely and avoids human contact.[5] Domestic cats are valued by
humans for companionship and their ability to hunt pests such as
rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.
