Cat

The cat (Felis catus) is a small carnivorous domestic species. They are commonly known as housecats or domestic cats, to avoid confusion to other species in the family Felidae, as it is the only species in said family that is domestic. Felids (members of the Felidae family) are commonly known as cats but should be called felines to avoid confusion to the housecat.

Housecats are commonly kept as household pets, but are sometimes kept as farmcats or are feral cats. Feral cats generally avoid humans unless they live near or at a human's home.
