Cats are good hunters. They move quietly and
stay hidden while they follow something that might
be good to eat. Cats love to eat rodents and other
small animals. Even kittens love chasing pieces of
string or grass that look like tails. Cats are born to
hunt.
Scientists put cats into the same family because
they have common traits and ancestors. Cats can
be found in nature on every continent except for
Antarctica and Australia. Australians sometimes have
cats as pets, so there’s almost nowhere you can’t find
them. In English, cat and feline can be used the same
way. All cats are felines and all felines are cats.
Felidae includes cats that aren’t kept by people
and even cats that can be dangerous to people. Just
like domesticated cats, wild cats and big cats are
excellent hunters and climbers and have sharp claws
and teeth.
