Cats are small, furry mammals. A mammal is an animal that has fur and whose babies are born alive.
Cats have a round body with four legs.
They also have a long, thin tail. The tail of a cat is often as long as its body. Some cats have shorter tails. Some are even born without a tail.
There are also some really big cats. The Maine Coon can be as big as two normal house cats.
A female cat is called a Molly. A male cat is called a Tom. The babies are called kittens.
