✨ Definition of a cat ✨
The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family. Cats are commonly kept as house pets but can also be farm cats or feral cats; the feral cat ranges freely and avoids human contact. Domestic cats are valued by humans for companionship and their ability to kill rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.
✨ Where can you get a cat? ✨
Cats can be obtained in various ways. For example, you can find one on the streets; make sure to check if it does not have a collar, if it does then don't take it home. After you have 'kidnapped' your cat from the streets, print out some posters, asking if someone by any chance misplaced their cat. In case no one responds, the cat is officialy yours. Better option is to go to the shelter and get a cat there. They have plenty of cats!
✨ How to take care of a cat? ✨
Cats require a source of water, food and entertaiment. You can provide them water by simply filling water-tight containers with water. Remember to change your cat's water everyday. Cat's food is avaliable online and offline. You can get some at the store. From time to time you can feed your cat some boneless meat. Entertaiment needs can be satisfied with toys, windows or boxes. On top of that cats pee and poo so you should invest in a litterbox.

It was a great learning experience for me to create this page. The amount of googling, rewatching lessons was intense. I have two wonderful cats myself, Mojo and Bojka. One is from the shelter and one was found in the wild. For now they are staying with my grandma, enjoying rural life of Poland. 🏠
