Funny cat photo
Source:- Google.com.pkThe domestic cat[1][2] (Felis catus[2] or Felis silvestris catus[4]) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. It is often called the housecat when kept as an indoor pet,[6] or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt vermin and household pests.
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small game. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans.
Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species, and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting) as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.[7]
Cats have a rapid breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering, and the abandonment of former household pets, has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control.[8]
Since cats were cult animals in ancient Egypt, they were commonly believed to have been domesticated there,[9] but there may have been instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic from around 9500 years ago (7500 BCE).[10]
A genetic study in 2007 revealed that domestic cats are descended from African wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) c. 8000 BCE, in the Middle East.[9][11] According to Scientific American, cats are the most popular pet in the world, and are now found almost every place where people live.[12]
After a particularly bad "case of the Mondays" at work–okay, maybe it wasn't a Monday, but some Lumberg-type characters were undoubtedly involved, Eric dialed up Kari for some healthy venting. In an attempt to cheer up her pal, Kari emailed him a photo of a very portly cat from a Russian cat food ad that had given her a giggle. She whimsically placed the words, "I Can Has Cheezburger?" over the photo. This sent Eric into fits of laughter (Laughter, Out Loud to be exact) and he thought it would be funny to put the photo online to share with friends. Within minutes he had purchased the domain name, icanhascheezburger and out went Professor Happycat into cyberspace. It is with that move that the LOLcat craze was born and Eric and Kari's checking accounts got much larger.
