– House cats fall into the genus ‘Felis’, which is made up of the ‘small cats’. These are species like the domestic cat, the sand cat, Scottish wildcat, and jungle cat. They’re small (less than 1m from nose to tailtip), and all of them are able to purr. . Lions are part of the genus Panthera, which contains lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards. These cats are all big (over 50kg), and roar instead of purring. . All cats belong to the family Felidae, which means that at one time millions of years ago, they had a common ancestor. But now they have followed such different evolutionary paths they’re only somewhat related. . . . This week’s photo challenge for you: CATS . . This week, post a photo that represents CATS to you on your feed and tag with by the end of the day on Monday to be considered for a feature on our page on Tuesday. No prizes at this point; just honest recognition for a fun response to our photo challenge. You do not need to be a professional photographer or use anything but your phone to participate. I just love seeing how people interpret a prompt. . . . . . Please feel free to suggest themes that sound like fun to you or match your passion.
