"CATS"

WHEN YOU WATCH a cat stalking a bird,it is easy to see how cats are related to lions and tigers.All cats are excellent hunters.They have acute senses and  sharp teeth and claws,and they arew strong and agile.Cats do most of their hunting at night,and have evolved excellent eyessight in dim conditions.Even a domestic cat,or house cat,could survive in the wild by catching mice,small birds,insects,and other creatures.Manye exotic pedigree(purebred) cats,however,might not be able to live for long in the wild,since most are used to a pampered lifestyle indoors.
The ancestor of our domestic cats is a wild taddy-colored cat that has existed for about one milleon years -the African wild cat.This small wild cat spread through Africa,Asia,and Europe,until it was gradually tamed by people in Africa,whepe it helped protect food stores from rats and mice.Since then,domestic cats have been bred by people into many different types,from striped tabbies and Persian longhairs to thetailless Manx cat.Three thosand years ago,domestic cats were a common sight in Egypt,where they were held in great esteem.Today there are more than 500 million domestic cats around the world.

"HAIRLESS CAT"

The SPHYNX breed of cat was 

developed in the 1960s from a kitten

that was born withour fur.The sphynx

has bare skin except for a few fine,dark,

downy hairs on its face,paws,and tais tip.

It is unlikely that a hairless cat such as 

this one could survive in the wild for long.
