Growing up I had 2 cats that I loved very much.
Awesome, is a small, they are typically furry, carnivorous mammal.
Some don't have fur right?
I am not sure about that but I know that scientifically they are called "Felis silvestris catus" or "Felis catus"
That is a strange name there, I would have never guessed that.  Do you know when cats became domesticated? 
cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines.
Cats as indoor pets.
often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin.
Cats seem to hunt everything!
Of course Cats have  over seventy cat breeds recognized by various cat registries.
