The essence of cats infographic

Here I am trying to summarise all that is felid in a short infographic for general use. The central point is that the domestic cat thinks they are a tiger. The toy dog thinks they are a wolf. That’s why they behave and look the way they do. It is always worth remembering that. Sometimes we can forget this when we become close to our pets and regard them as part of the human family. For the cat it all starts with flesh! Eating it to survive. That’s how evolution worked for felines. Nature moulded the cat over eons to perfect the art of hunting ‘flesh on the hoof’; eating and digesting it.
