Cat

One of humanity's most successful domesticated companions, domestic cats are small, agile carnivores originating from the Near Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago. With over 70 recognized breeds, cats retain strong predatory instincts and have colonized virtually every terrestrial environment on Earth. They are the world's most popular pet, with an estimated 600 million kept worldwide.

Coprinopsis phaeospora is a small, delicate inky cap mushroom with a pale grey, pleated cap and dark spores. It grows on dung, compost, and nutrient-enriched soils in temperate grasslands and woodland edges across Europe. This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic matter in dung-enriched habitats.
