What is a CAT?

	All cats have short rounded heads
	Whiskers help a cat feel it's surroundings
	The body of a cat is muscular and supple with a broad, powerful chest
	Cats walk on their toes, not their whole foot
	Their very soft fur is kept clean by regular grooming with their tongue and paws
	They have large ears to draw in sounds
	A long tail helps the cat to balance when it runs or leaps on it's prey
