CATS
           Cats are the most popular pet and can be found everywhere on the earth. They
have a Latin name Felis Catus Silvertis. In ancient times, the Egyptians used them as an
animal to hunt the rats.
           When they were born, they are blind and deaf. Then, they opened the eyes when
they have aged between 8 to 10 days. Furthermore, their sexual hormones are active at
the age of 10 to 15 months. On average, they have a weight ranging from 2.5 kg to 7.0
kg. Meanwhile, the length of them is varies, but mostly they can grow from 15 to 30
cm. Cats are lazy animals where they just spend time at home to sleep. However, not all
the cats have that such behavior, one of the active cat is “Kucing Kampung” which is
the icon ofIndonesian cat. Those cats always try to go out and to look for food.
           They can live up to the age of 20 years, and the world’s oldest cat lived about
36 years. Meanwhile, Kucing Kampung which are from Indonesia usually live only
between 2 until 5 years. Cats are omnivore because we are very often seeing them eat
fish, meat, rice, and even vegetables. Nevertheless, many people also refer them as a
carnivore. They have small teeth and claws that are not harmful to humans. But, you
have to be careful because a cat bite can cause rabies and their claws are so painful.
Let’s have fun !
