cat

The cat (Felis catus) is a [small] carnivorous mammal.[12] It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from [wild] members of the family.[4] The cat is either a house cat, kept as a pet, or a feral cat, freely ranging and avoiding human contact.5 A house cat is valued by humans for companionship and for its ability to hunt rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.6 [Cats] are similar in anatomy to the other felid species, with a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth and retractable claws adapted to killing small prey. They are predators who are most active at [dawn] and dusk (crepuscular). [Cats] can hear sounds too faint or too [high] in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. Compared to humans, they see better in the [dark] (they see in near total darkness) and have a better sense of smell, but poorer color vision. [Cats], despite being solitary hunters, are a social species. Cat communication includes the use of vocalizations including mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting as well as cat-specific body language.7 [Cats] also communicate by secreting and perceiving pheromones.
