Cat, who does not know about this adorable animal? You must know about this furry creature, don't you? Yeah.. This creature can be found anywhere and actually humans keep them as a pet in the house. 

Cat or Felis Silvestris Catus is a small, furry, domesticated and carnivorous mammals. It is often called the house cat when kept as an indoor pet, or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines. Felidae is the biological family of the cats; a member of this family is called a felid. The most familiar felid is the domestic cat, which first became associated with humans about 10.000 years ago. Felinae is a subfamily of the family Felidae, which include the genera and species listed below. Most are small to medium-sized cats, although the group does include some larger animals, such as the cougar and cheetah.

Cats are often valued by humans for comapanionship and their ability to hunt vermin, mouses and household pests. Cats are similiar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted tokilling small prey. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small game. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans have.

Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species, and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting) as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.
