All of us know that lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, and even jaguars belong to the cat family. Not only them but also there are many other cat breeds that are small and big in size and you may have never heard about them.
The Cat family is a distinct family which evolved roughly 25 million years ago. Since then they evolved according to their environment and expanded all around the world. Though they are evolved, they still have some features in common. Sweetness can only be tasted by a very few of these breeds just like the little fluffy cat at your home. Although they are obligate carnivores, they don’t prefer meat all the time, but they can’t depend on anything else. A strong sort of social behavior can be observed among a very few cat beside lions. But some form small colonies and hunt together. The arrogant, individualistic behavior of our domestic pet cat is not a wonder.
