The origin of domestic cats is traced back to the African Wildcat, whose biology and behavior is still very much retained by cats today. Here are some distinct characteristics of your feline friend.

• Cats have well-developed senses thus they can detect higher sound frequencies than humans or dogs.
• Cats are territorial. They mark their territory by spraying urine, scratching, or depositing feces.
• Cats use a wide range of visual communication. They use different body postures, ear and tail positions, and facial expressions to communicate with their owners and other animals. They also use visual markers such as scratch marks or feces deposition to indicate their territory.
• Cats are obligate carnivores. They derive essential nutrients from the meat of animals. Without these essential nutrients, they will fail to thrive and may suffer from severe nutritional deficiencies.
• Cats love to play. Spending time to play with your feline friend can help stimulate and improve his motor skills while promoting social behavior.
