Cat

A cat is a small, domesticated mammal known for its agility, sharp senses, and independent nature. Belonging to the species *Felis catus*, cats are often kept as pets due to their companionship and ability to control pests like mice. They communicate through vocalizations, body language, and scent markings. Cats have keen eyesight, especially in low light, and retractable claws for climbing and hunting. They generally exhibit a balance of playful and solitary behavior, making them adaptable and popular companions for many households around the world.
