The cat (or domestic cat) is a small carnivorous mammal. It is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to destroy vermin. A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. Intelligent, the cat can be trained to obey simple commands, and has been known to teach itself to manipulate simple mechanisms.

The trinomial name of the domestic cat is Felis silvestris catus. Its closest predomesticated ancestor is believed to be the African wild, Felis silvestris lybica. Humans have developed several dozen breeds of cat, in a variety of colors. Read more
