Felines a family of carnivorous mammals,
varying widely in size, coloration, and behavior, although a few
physical similarities apply. Feline bodies are normally long and
slender, with muscles suited to running, leaping and climbing. Almost
all have curved claws that can retract into the paw, small triangular
ears, a small snout and a long tail. They have flexible spines,
giving them incredible agility, and most tend to live very solitary
lives. Cats have been domesticated for companionship, as well as
for hunting small pest animals like mice and rats. Today, the domestic
cat is one of the world's most common and popular pets. Click here for more info...
