What is a "cat"?

The cat is a small carnivorous mammal and a popular domestic pet known for its independent and agile nature. Cats are known for their graceful movements, keen senses, and hunting abilities. They come in various breeds, sizes, and colors, ranging from the elegant Siamese to the fluffy Maine Coon, and are known for their distinct personalities. Cats are known for their grooming habits, often spending significant time cleaning themselves, and for their ability to climb and jump with precision. They are also known for their playfulness, curiosity, and sometimes aloof demeanor. Cats are often kept as indoor pets and are known for their companionship, providing affection and comfort to their owners. They are skilled hunters and are known for their ability to catch rodents and other small prey. Cats have a strong sense of territoriality and are known to establish their own territory, often within their human homes. They require regular care, including grooming, vaccinations, and veterinary attention, and are cherished by many as beloved family members.
