Cats, the cutest creatures on the planet 😻

The cat, cat or bass (scientific name: Felis catus) is a type of carnivorous mammal, and it is the only domesticated animal of the feline family, and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the rest of its family of wild cats. Cats can be either domestic cats, farm cats, or wild cats, the latter category roaming freely and avoiding contact with humans. Humans like the companionship of domestic cats due to their ability to hunt rodents. About 60 cat breeds have been identified through various cat registries.

Cats are similar in anatomy to other types of felids, they have a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth and retractable claws adapted to killing small prey, and have the ability to night vision and a well-developed sense of smell. Cats communicate through sounds such as meowing, purring, refining, hissing, growling, and grunting, as well as the cat's own body language. The cat is a solitary hunter despite its social disposition. Cats can hear sounds that are very faint or very high-frequency to human ears, such as those made by mice and other small mammals. The cat is a predatory animal that increases its activity at dawn and dusk. Cats secrete pheromones and can recognize them.
