ats, more precisely, domestic cats, are distinguished from other cats in the family, are small and carnivorous mammals, living with humans, bred to hunt for pests or pets. It is believed that the closest intermediate ancestor before its domestication was the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica). Domestic cats have been close to humans for at least 9,500 years, [4] and they are now the most popular pet in the world. [5]
There are many different breeds of cats, some with no hair or tails, and they exist in many coat colors. Cats are skilled animals of predators and are known for their ability to hunt thousands of creatures for food. They are also intelligent creatures, and can be taught or taught themselves using simple tools like opening a doorknob or flushing a toilet.
Cats communicate by meow, purr, grunt, growl and body language. Cats in herds use both sound and body language to communicate with each other.
Like some domesticated animals (like horses), cats can still live well in wild habitats like feral cats. Contrary to popular belief that cats are solitary animals, they often make small flocks in the wild.
