"Felidae" is the scientific name for the biological family whose most familiar member is the domestic cat. These highly evolved predators are as beautiful as they are cunning. Did you know that almost all members of this carnivorous family share a genetic anomaly that prevents them from tasting sweetness?
They are all obligate carnivores – they don't simply favor meat; they can't subsist on anything else. Apart from lions, very few cats display any sort of strong social behavior, though some do hunt together or form loose colonies. Aha! So that's where our kitties get their attitude from!
Something else you might not know is that while some felines are widely known (like lions, cougars, jaguars, etc.), there are actually 41 known cat species living today – and most of them are as beautiful as they are rare.

If you think we domesticated cats, watch the video "African Wild Cat at Our Camp" (2 min). The couple in this video originally thought a house cat wandered into their camp. The African Wild Cat cat is thought be be the ancestor of our house cat and after watching this video, I believe it.

Research on the various species of cats is fascinating! I researched all kinds of cats for a series of biology lessons I created for at-risk students. I learned so much.
