Cat

Uno de los compañeros domésticos más exitosos de la humanidad, los gatos domésticos son pequeños carnívoros ágiles originarios del gato montés del Cercano Oriente (Felis silvestris lybica) domesticado hace aproximadamente 10.000 años. Con más de 70 razas reconocidas, los gatos conservan fuertes instintos depredadores y han colonizado prácticamente todos los entornos terrestres de la Tierra. Son la mascota más popular del mundo, con alrededor de 600 millones en cautiverio.
