无论是凶猛可怕的老虎还是温顺可爱的家猫，它们都属于猫科动物。你知道还有哪些动物是属于猫科动物吗？猫科动物都有些什么特性呢？这期我们来了解一下猫科动物吧！

All cats around the world spend their time doing the same kinds of activities：
hunting， eating， and sleeping.

Some cats live in forests and all cats can climb trees. They have very good balance and sharp claws. Those claws can hook into branches.

Fishing cats can catch fish by grabbing them with their claws.

Cats like to live on their own. Very few cats live in groups. The cats that live together are mothers and their babies. Lions are the only wild cats to live in groups.

Cats only eat meat. When they live in the wild， they have to hunt for themselves.

Pumas are the long jumpers of the cat world. How far can they jump？ About six meters！

Most big cats roar. When the lion gets angry， his roar can be heard eight km away！ All other cats miaow， purr， and growl.

Cats fur keeps them warm. Cats spend a lot of time licking their fur with their rough tongues. Cats lick their fur to clean themselves and keep cool.

All cats look similar， but their coats， shapes， and sizes are suited to where they live. This serval has a long neck and big ears， which make it see and hear well in long grass.

Unlike dogs， cats cannot run fast for long distances， so they rely on their ability to stalk and pounce. When stalking they keep their bodies low， move slowly， and then pounce.
