Cats

Cats also called the domestic cat or house cat (with its scientific name: Felis silvestris catus
or Felis catus) is a type of carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae. The word "cat"
generally refers to a "cat" that has been tamed, but can also refer to the "big cats" such as
lions and tigers.

Cats are considered as "perfect carnivore" with teeth and particular digestive tract. The first
premolar and molar teeth form a pair of fangs on each side of the mouth that works
effectively as a pair of scissors to tear the meat. Although these features also exist in the
Canidae or dog, but these traits are better developed in cats. Unlike other carnivores, cats
eat almost non vegetable substance. Bears and dogs sometimes eat berries, roots, or honey
as a supplement, while cats only eat meat, usually freshly killed prey. In captivity, cats can
not adapt to a vegetarian diet because they can not synthesize all the amino acids they need
from plant material; it is in contrast with domesticated dogs, which commonly are fed a
mixture of meat and vegetables and sometimes it can adapt to a completely vegetarian
meal.

Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC, from the skeleton of the cat found
on the island of Cyprus. The ancient Egyptians of 3500 BC have used cats to keep away the
rats or other rodents from the barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is one of
the most popular pet in the world. Cats that his lines are recorded officially as a cat breeds
or pure breed are Persian, Siamese, Manx, and the sphinx. These kinds of cat are usually
bred in official captivity animal. The number of purebred cat is only 1% of all cats in the
world; the rest is a cat with mixed ancestry such as wild cats or domestic cats.

An Indonesian domestic worker has claimed that she lost her kidney without her knowledge
while she worked in Doha, Qatar, three years ago
DOHA – Sri Rabitah, 25, told the Indonesian press on Monday that she only realized what had
happened before when she returned to her home and went to hospital complaining of constant
back pain.
To her surprised, doctors told the young mother that one of her kidneys was missing.
Muhammad Iqbal, a foreign ministry official, said that her case was a “clear indication” of organ
trafficking and called for an urgent investigation soon. Her employers allegedly told her to go for
a medical check-up at a hospital, during which she was placed under anaesthesia with no
explanation. “Without permission, I got an injection. The doctor said I was so weak, so I was told
to relax,” Sri told the Detik news site.
Sri said that she remembered being taken to a room containing medical tools before waking up in
pain with an inexplicable incision scar. She claims that she was never given an explanation about
what happened in the room at that time, and was sent back home as her employers deemed her
unfit to work. Sri has said that she wants to fight back. “I want the government to sue the
perpetrator. My kidney was stolen,” she said.
