Cat is domestic wild cat
I love cats. I wish I could have one in my apartment.
They are typically furry and carnivorous mammals
The ones I used to have were definitely really furry!
They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pet
That makes a lot of sense. What else can ya tell me about them?
or simply cats when there is no need to distinguished them from other felids
That explains your initial comment about cats being domestic wild cats
Yes.They are often valued by humans for companionship 
That is mostly why I want at least one in my house.
