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 cannot adapt to a vegetarian diet because they cannot 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.
