Domestic Cat
Felis catus
Domestic cats live alongside people worldwide, from houses and farms to city streets, while retaining the solitary hunting habits of small wild felids. They are agile ambush predators that stalk birds, rodents, insects, and other small animals, using sharp claws, fangs, keen hearing, and sudden pounces. Adults also defend themselves with hisses, growls, arched postures, bites, and rapid claw swipes. A notable fact is that cats can rotate their ears independently to pinpoint faint sounds from hidden prey.
