CATS
Cats also called the domestic cat or house cat (with its
scientific name: Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus) is a type of
carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae. The word "cat" generally
refers to a "cat" that has been tamed, but can also refer to the "big
cats" such as lions and tigers.
Cats are considered as "perfect carnivore" with teeth and
particular digestive tract. The first premolar and molar teeth form a
pair of fangs on each side of the mouth that works effectively as a pair
of scissors to tear the meat. Although these features also exist in the
Canidae or dog, but these traits are better developed in cats. Unlike
other carnivores, cats eat almost non vegetable substance. Bears and
dogs sometimes eat berries, roots, or honey as a supplement, while cats
only eat meat, usually freshly killed prey. In captivity, cats can not
adapt to a vegetarian diet because they can not synthesize all the amino
acids they need from plant material; it is in contrast with
domesticated dogs, which commonly are fed a mixture of meat and
vegetables and sometimes it can adapt to a completely vegetarian meal.
Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC,
from the skeleton of the cat found on the island of Cyprus. The ancient
Egyptians of 3500 BC have used cats to keep away the rats or other
rodents from the barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is
one of the most popular pet in the world. Cats that his lines are
recorded officially as a cat breeds or pure breed are Persian, Siamese,
Manx, and the sphinx. These kinds of cat are usually bred in official
captivity animal. The number of purebred cat is only 1% of all cats in
the world; the rest is a cat with mixed ancestry such as wild cats or
domestic cats.
