Cats are widely used as pets in households all over the world. The ancestor of the cat is believed to be the desert cat of ancient Egypt. The Persian cat has been domesticated in Persia for 3,500 years.
Most cats have round heads, short faces, five fingers on the forelimbs, and four toes on the hind limbs. The toes have sharp and curved claws, which can be retractable and cats have night vision. They hunt other animals in ambush mode, and most can climb trees.
Cats have fatty pads under their toes to keep them from making noises when they walk and from scaring the rats when they hunt. The claws are retracted while traveling to prevent them from being blunted and protruding during mouse hunting and climbing.
Cats are quick to jump. Eat fish, mice, rabbits, etc. Cats like to eat fish and mice because they are nocturnal animals. To see things at night, they need a lot of taurines, which are found in the bodies of mice. Therefore, cats eat fish and mice not only because they like to eat fish and mice, but also because of their own needs.
Cats can walk in narrow places. This is mainly due to the cat's excellent reaction to nerves and sense of balance. It only needs to slightly change the position and height of its tail to achieve its balance. It uses the strong muscles and strong joints of its back feet to jump nimbly.
Even if it falls from a high altitude, it can change its body position in the air and land lightly and accurately. Good at climbing, but not good at falling from the top. Even when falling or jumping from a height, cats balance on their tails and land on their cushioned limbs.
Be careful not to break the cat's tail, it will affect its balance ability, will also easily make the cat diarrhea, and reduce the life span cat.
The age of a cat is very different from that of a human. A cat's 1 year old is equivalent to a human's 15 years. After the cat is 2 years old, its age increases by an average of 4 years every year. The average life span of a cat is 12 to 16 years, and a 16-year-old cat is equivalent to 80 years of human life.
