All cats are
members of the family "Felidea".
Interestingly enough, the cat family split from the other mammals at
least 40,000,000 years ago, making them one of the oldest mammalian families.
All cats share
certain characteristics that are unique to the cat family. Cats are pure
carnivores. They need a high level of protein in their diets (around 30%) and
lack the digestive equipment to do well on a diet of grains, fruits or
vegetables.
If you know cats at all, you know that they have powerful jaws, long, sharp
teeth, and claws that draw back into their paws when not in use.
