Their adaptability, rapid breeding rate, and predatory instincts make them effective hunters.
In some locations, cats have affected indigenous animal populations; this has led them to be
classified as an invasive species in some areas. Many problems are caused by the large number of
feral cats worldwide, with a population of up to 60 million of these animals in the United States
alone. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering and the abandonment of
former household pets cause the development of such feral colonies.

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 cats' usual prey (particularly rodents such as mice) make high frequency noises, so
cats' hearing has evolved to pinpoint these faint high-pitched sounds. Cats rely more on smell than
taste, and have a vastly 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. They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets.
This hobby is known as cat fancy.
As The New York Times wrote in 2007, "Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have
been domesticated in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal. A study that year found that the
lines of descent of all house cats probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African
Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) circa 8000 BC, in the Near East. The earliest direct evidence of cat
domestication is a kitten that was buried with its owner 9,500 years ago in Cyprus.
Cat has loyal enemy namely mouse. In TOM & JERRY film they never become a friend. Mouse
also can become its prey. In some countries cat is sacred animals. The people believe that cat has 7-9
soul. This flat-nose can be a keeper of a house.
