Report Text about Cat

Cats

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 can not adapt to a vegetarian diet because they can not 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.

Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC, from the skeleton of the cat found on the island of Cyprus. The ancient Egyptians of 3500 BC have used cats to keep away the rats or other rodents from the barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is one of the most popular pet in the world. Cats that his lines are recorded officially as a cat breeds or pure breed are Persian, Siamese, Manx, and the sphinx. These kinds of cat are usually bred in official captivity animal.

Kucing dianggap sebagai "karnivora yang sempurna" dengan gigi dan saluran pencernaan yang khusus. Gigi premolar dan molar pertama membentuk sepasang taring di setiap sisi mulut yang bekerja efektif seperti gunting untuk merobek daging. Meskipun ciri ini juga terdapat pada famili Canidae atau anjing, tapi ciri ini berkembang lebih baik pada kucing. Tidak seperti karnivora lain, kucing hampir tidak makan apapun yang mengandung tumbuhan. Beruang dan anjing kadang memakan buah, akar, atau madu sebagai suplemen, sementara kucing hanya memakan daging, biasanya buruan segar. Dalam penangkaran, kucing tidak dapat diadaptasikan dengan makanan vegetarian karena mereka tidak dapat mensintesis semua asam-asam amino yang mereka butuhkan hanya dengan memakan tumbuhan; berbeda dengan anjing peliharaan, yang sering diberi makan produk campuran daging dan sayuran dan kadang dapat beradaptasi dengan makanan vegetarian secara total.

Kucing telah berbaur dengan kehidupan manusia paling tidak sejak 6.000 tahun SM, dari kerangka kucing di Pulau Siprus. Orang Mesir Kuno dari 3.500 SM telah menggunakan kucing untuk menjauhkan tikus atau hewan pengerat lain dari lumbung di mana hasil panen disimpan.
Saat ini, kucing adalah salah satu hewan peliharaan terpopuler di dunia. Kucing yang garis keturunannya tercatat secara resmi sebagai kucing trah atau galur murni (pure breed), seperti persia, siam, manx, dan sphinx. Kucing seperti ini biasanya dibiakkan di tempat pemeliharaan hewan resmi. Jumlah kucing ras hanyalah 1% dari seluruh kucing di dunia, sisanya adalah kucing dengan keturunan campuran seperti kucing liar atau kucing kampung.
