The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to
distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small carnivorous mammal
that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt
vermin and household pests. It has been associates with human for at
least 9,500 years and is currently the most popular pet in the world.
A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It
can be trained to obey simple commands.
Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate
simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs and toilet handles. Cats use a
variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication,
including meowing, purring, “trilling”, hissing, growling, squeaking,
chirping, clicking and grunting. They are also bred and shown as
registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as “cat fancy”.
