The **domestic cat** (___Felis catus___ or ___Felis silvestris catus___ ) is a small, usually furry[2], domesticated[3], and carnivorous[4] mammal[5]. It is often called the **housecat** when kept as an indoor pet, or simply the **cat** when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids[6] and felines[7]. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship, and their ability to hunt vermin[8] and household pests.

Cats are similar in anatomy[9] to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses[10] fit a crepuscular[11] and predatory ecological niche[12]. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency[13] for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision[14] and a better sense of smell[15] than humans.

Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species[16], and cat communication[17] includes the use of a variety of vocalizations[18] (mewing[19], purring[20], trilling[21], hissing, growling[22] and grunting[23]) as well as cat pheromones[24], and types of cat-specific body language[25].
