CATS

​

            Do you know that there are forty different kinds of cats? Your small house cats, the wild lions, the tigers and leopards all belong to the cat family.

          Cats are not as friendly as dogs. Very few of them learn to do tricks and obey orders. However, they are neat, quiet and graceful. They need less care than dogs.

          Most cats catch rats and mice at night for their food. They can do these because they can see very well in the dark. Small cushions on their feet help them walk and move quietly.
