There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with approximately 40 recognized breeds.
The domesticated cat is a small and furry animal that have quick reflexes, and have sharp retractable claws. They're bodies are flexible and strong, and can twist in almost any direction. They're legs are very strong and can jump 5 times it own height. Cats have excellent night vision and can see at only one-sixth the light level required for human vision. They also have excellent hearing and can hear sounds that dogs and humans can't hear.
On average, cats spend 2/3 of every day sleeping. That means a nine-year-old cat has been awake for only three years of its life. One reason why kittens sleep so much is because a growth hormone is released only when they are asleep.
