The document provides a comprehensive overview of domestic cats (Felis catus), detailing their behavior, anatomy, reproduction, and habitats. Cats are highly adaptable creatures found globally, displaying diverse behaviors and physical traits, including their unique genetic makeup and health considerations. Additionally, it describes popular cat breeds, including the Persian, Turkish Angora, and Savannah, each with distinctive characteristics.

- 4. Cats are the most popular pet and can be found everywhere on the earth. They have a Latin name Felis Catus Silvertis. They have become tame animals and humans were functioned them as pets since 6000 BC. In ancient times, the Egyptians used them as an animal to hunt the rats. Description

- 6. Genetics The domesticated cat and its closest wild ancestor are both diploid organisms that possess 38 chromosomes and roughly 20,000 genes. About 250 heritable genetic disorders have been identified in cats, many similar to human inborn errors.The high level of similarity among the metabolism of mammals allows many of these feline diseases to be diagnosed using genetic tests that were originally developed for use in humans, as well as the use of cats as animal models in the study of the human diseases
- 7. Behavior Free-ranging cats are active both day and night, although they tend to be slightly more active at night. The timing of cats' activity is quite flexible and varied, which means house cats may be more active in the morning and evening (crepuscular behavior), as a response to greater human activity at these times. Although they spend the majority of their time in the vicinity of their home, housecats can range many hundreds of meters from this central point, and are known to establish territories that vary considerably in size, in one study ranging from 7 to 28 hectares (17–69 acres).
- 8. Anatomy Cats have seven cervical vertebrae, as do almost all mammals; 13 thoracic vertebrae (humans have 12); seven lumbar vertebrae (humans have five); three sacral vertebrae like most mammals (humans have five); and a variable number of caudal vertebrae in the tail (humans retain three to five caudal vertebrae, fused into an internal coccyx). The extra lumbar and thoracic vertebrae account for the cat's spinal mobility and flexibility. Attached to the spine are 13 ribs, the shoulder, and the pelvis. Unlike human arms, cat forelimbs are attached to the shoulder by free-floating clavicle bones which allow them to pass their bodies through any space into which they can fit their heads
- 9. Reproduc tion• Female cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means they may have many periods of heat over the course of a year, the season beginning in spring and ending in late autumn. Heat periods occur about every two weeks and last about 4 to 7 days. Multiple males will be attracted to a female in heat. The males will fight over her, and the victor wins the right to mate. At first, the female rejects the male, but eventually the female allows the male to mate.
- 10. Diseases Cats can suffer from a wide range of health problems, including infectious diseases, parasites, injuries, and chronic disease. Vaccinations are available for many of these diseases, and domestic cats are regularly given treatments to eliminate parasites such as worms and fleas.
- 11. Habitats Cats are a cosmopolitan species and are found across much of the world. Geneticist Stephen James O'Brien, of the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, remarked on how successful cats have been in evolutionary terms: "Cats are one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts.“ They are extremely adaptable and are now present on all continents except Antarctica, and on 118 of the 131 main groups of islands—even on sub-Antarctic islands such as the Kerguelen Islands. Feral cats can live in forests, grasslands, tundra, coastal areas, agricultural land, scrublands, urban areas, and wetlands.
- 12. Physical Appearance A home cat which is quite familiar, is a mammal that has four legs, a tail, two pointy ears, and bushy hair. The feet have the sharp claws. You must be careful when holding the leg of a cat, because the claws are so powerful and can hurt both your hands and body. Cat’s tail is used as a tool to communicate and to maintain the body balance. Two pointy cat ears have very good hearing. Cats even have a hearing performance two times than dogs and seven times better than human. The bushy hair is an attraction because some colors are striking and beautiful. One thing that you should not forget is the cat’s moustaches. Cats have moustaches whose function is to detect preys in the dark. It is also used to know their emotions. When it leaning forward, then the cat is being friendly, but when leaning back, then they are in an aggressive condition.
- 13. Type/Genus Persian The impressive Persian is a massively built cat clothed in a long, flowing coat. Short, heavily boned legs support the Persian's boxy body. The cat's head should be round, with large, round eyes and a short, snub nose Turkish Angora The long coat of the Angora is like no other coat, with a sensuously silky, luxurious texture. Angoras are fine- boned felines, and surpass many other breeds when it comes to playfulness and affection. Savannah The Savannah inherits its tall, lean, muscular build from the serval cat of the African plains. Its outstanding features are exceptionally long legs, ears and neck. Colors include solid black, black smoke and spotted tabby
