Felines (Cats)

Cats are in the feline family.
This includes both big wildcats and pet cats that live in our homes.
The feline family has over 40 cat species. Some are as big as the fierce tiger, while others are small, like the tabby cat napping on your bed.

Pet cats and wildcats are different in many ways. But they share the things that make cats such special animals.
