Historically, cats have been a popular domesticated animal. They evolved from a mouse hunting ancestor. They can be found in 45 different domestic breeds. They are mainly nocturnal. They have excellent hearing and vision. They are territorial animals. They have good balance and are very agile. They can balance on their tail and land on all fours.
The wild cat is a solitary, apex predator, and is also an obligate carnivore. They hunt birds, hares, and small mammals. They make lairs in hollow trees or deserted buzzard’s nests. They can also cache their prey for future consumption. They have an average life span of 12 years. They can be found in forests, semi-deserts, and scrubland throughout the world. They are distributed over the Western and Eastern Hemisphere.
In the wild, cats are more adapted to changes in their environment than dogs. They are able to adjust their speed and diets to suit the environment. They have good hearing and vision, and their ears can turn like satellite dishes. They also have a bushy tail that averages 30 centimetres (12 inches) long. They can be found in a variety of habitats, including tropical rain forests, mountain ranges, and deserts. Their fur is brown or grey, and has dark stripes. Their tails can be thicker, and they are smaller in face and body than dogs.
In the wild, cats are mainly crepuscular. They emerge from their dens in four to five weeks. They are very shy of human settlements, but occasionally they will venture into an area where there are people. Some cats are solitary, while others prefer to live in colonies. A colony can be a breeding ground for rabies virus. They can also be attacked by other animals.
