Cats.
Cats are nice.*
Cat, (Felis catus), domesticated member (felid) of the family Felidae. The family
is
generally divided
between
cats from
the subfamily Pantherinae, which roar (including lions, tigers, and leopards), and cats from the subfamily
Felinae,
which purr instead (including cougars, bobcats, and domestic cats). According to the latest
research, purring
likely
stems from a special pad within the folds of a cat's vocal cords, which adds an additional layer of fatty
tissue
that
enables the folds to vibrate (purr) at low frequencies. Domestic cats are characterized by retractable
claws,
powerful
bodies, acute senses, long tails, and specialized teeth adapted for hunting prey.
Did you
know? The Norse goddess Freyja was said to have a golden chariot pulled by two white
longhaired cats.
