Learn about cats

The cat is one of the most popular domestic animals and pets worldwide. These agile, flexible carnivores are valued by humans for their companionship and abilities to hunt vermin.

Cats are carnivorous mammals of the family Felidae. There are over 70 cat breeds recognized today. Some of the most popular breeds include Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon and Bengal cats. Cats have excellent night vision and a powerful sense of smell. Their slender muscular bodies, sharp retractable claws and quick reflexes make cats effective hunters.

Domestic cats typically live 12-18 years. They are known for their cleanliness and generally easy care. Cats are largely independent and can entertain themselves but they also form strong bonds with their human families. They communicate through meowing, purring, hissing and body language.

Beyond house cats, cats populate every continent except Antarctica. Wild cats include species like lions, tigers, leopards, lynx and pumas. Whether big or small, wild or domesticated, cats are highly intelligent, intriguing creatures. They continue to captivate our interest with their agility, mystery and unique personalities. For cat owners and animal lovers alike, cats bring beauty, companionship and joy to our lives.
