The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat is distinguished from the other felines by its small size and is valued by humans for its companionship.
Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, and are currently the most popular pet in the world.

Due to their close association with humans, cats are now found almost everywhere on Earth.
Cats are similar in size and anatomy to the other Felids, with light, flexible bodies and teeth adapted to killing small prey.
A skilled predator, the cat hunts over 1,000 species for food, using its excellent eyesight and hearing.

Cat is a skilled predator

Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species and use a variety of vocalizations, pheromones and types of body language for communication.
These include meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting. They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as cat fancy.
