Over 800 HD images of cats.The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or housecat to distinguish it from other felids and felines, is a small, usually furry, domesticated, carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, and are currently the most popular pet in the world. Owing to their close association with humans, cats are now found almost everywhere in the world.Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. As nocturnal predators, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in near darkness to locate prey. Not only can cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency than humans can perceive. This is because the usual prey of cats (particularly rodents such as mice) make high frequency noises, so the hearing of the cat has evolved to pinpoint these faint high-pitched sounds. Cats also have a much better sense of smell than humans.Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species and use a variety of vocalizations, pheromones and types of body language for communication. These include meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting.Cats have a rapid breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering and the abandonment of former household pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, with a population of up to 60 million of these animals in the United States alone.Cats breeds pics in this photo-gallery:Abyssinian, Aegean cat, Australian Mist, American Polydactyl, American Bobtail, American Curl, American Longhair, American Shorthair, American Wirehair, Asian (cat), Asian Semi-longhair, Balinese, Bambino (cat), Bengal, Birman, Bombay, Brazilian Shorthair, British Shorthair, British Longhair, Burmese, Burmilla, California Spangled Cat, Chantilly / Tiffany, Chartreux, Chausie, Cheetoh, Colorpoint Shorthair, Cornish Rex, Cymric, Devon Rex, Domestic shorthair cat, Donskoy or Don Sphynx, Dragon Li, Egyptian Mau, European Shorthair, Exotic Shorthair, German Rex, Havana Brown, Himalayan / Colorpoint Persian, Japanese Bobtail, Javanese, Korat, Kurilian Bobtail, LaPerm, Maine Coon, Manx, Minskin, Munchkin, Nebelung, Napolean (cat), Norwegian Forest Cat, Ocicat, Ojos Azules, Oregon Rex, Oriental Bicolour, Oriental Shorthair, Oriental Longhair, Persian, Peterbald, Pixie-bob, Ragamuffin, Ragdoll, Russian Blue, Russian White, Black and Tabby, Savannah, Scottish Fold, Selkirk Rex, Serengeti cat, Siamese, Siberian, Singapura, Snowshoe, Sokoke, Somali, Sphynx, Thai / Old-style Siamese, Tonkinese, Toyger, Turkish Angora, Turkish Van / Vankedisi, Ukrainian Levkoy, Ussuri, York Chocolate Cat.Search Tags: cat pics, cat images, cute cats pictures, kittens photos, kitty, bengal cats, HD cats photos, wild cats. home cats, black and white cats, cats breeds, house cats, free cats.
