This layer is what makes cats' eyes shine green if a flashlight or headlight catches their eye in the dark.

The domestic cat and its closest wild ancestor are diploid and both possess 38 chromosomes and roughly 20,000 genes. Results of phylogenetic research shows that the wild members of this genus evolved through sympatric or parapatric speciation, whereas the domestic cat evolved through artificial selection. Felis daemon proposed by Konstantin Satunin in 1904 was a black cat from the Transcaucasus, later identified as a domestic cat. The scientific name Felis catus was proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 for a domestic cat.

Health

Your cat should see the veterinarian at least once a year for an examination and annual shots, and immediately if she is sick or injured. Provide your cat with a sturdy scratching post, at least three feet high. When a cat scratches, the old outer nail sheath is pulled off and the sharp, smooth claws underneath are exposed. If your cat will not use a litterbox, please consult with your veterinarian.

The female will utter a loud yowl as the male pulls out of her. At first, the female will reject the male, but eventually the female will allow the male to mate. Cats, especially kittens, practice these instinctive behaviours in play with each other or on small toys.

As it is little altered from the wildcat, it can readily interbreed with the wildcat. The AAFP and ISFM have issued recommendations for cat-friendly interactions in veterinary clinics. Having a cat neutered confers some health cat benefits, such as a decreased incidence of reproductive neoplasia. Based on a study of 2,300 free-ranging queens conducted from May 1998 and October 2000, they had one to six kittens per litter, with an average of three kittens.
