Cats are used as house pets but they tend to wonder. A baby cat is called a kitten.
Cats, especially kittens love to play, they will chase a laser pointer, they also cannot resist a dangling piece of string or rope, but this can couse the rope/string to be cought in thier intestines, which can couse death in extreme cases.
Cats have a fondness for heights, if a cat fall from a height then it can right itself.
Cats have excellent hearing, taste, touch and smell senses, this makes hunting easier.
Their vision at night is much superior to that of a human, however their vision at night is inferior.
They can also hear sound that are of higher pitch, they are also obligate carnivors
A cats act of self-defense includes hissing, arching their back, raising their fur and turning sideways.
Beware for cats may hunt and then bring their dead prey to you, so one day you might find a dead bird, mouse or rat dead on the kitchen floor!
Ethologist Paul Leyhausen proposed that cats adopt humans into their social group, and share excess kill with others in the group according to the local pecking order, in which humans are placed at or near the top. However, anthropologist and animal scientist Desmond Morris in his 1986 book Catwatching suggests that when cats bring home mice or birds they have caught, they are teaching their human to hunt, or helping their human as if feeding (his words) "an elderly, inept kitten". Another possibility is that presenting the kill might be a relic of a kitten's behavior of demonstrating for its mother's approval that it has developed the necessary skill for hunting. Indoor cats will often retain their hunting instinct and deliver small household items to their owners, such as watches, pens, pencils, and other objects they can carry in their mouths.
