Os gatos e seus hábitos

Abstract

The universe of felines is categorized according to the scientific classification:Kingdom: Animalia, Sub-kingdom: Eumetazoa, Phylum: Chordata, Class:Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Suborder: Feliformia, Superfamily: Feloidea,Family: Felidae, according to the anatomist and paleontologist JohannGotthelf Fischer von Waldheim (Grigorij Ivanovitsch Fischer von Waldheim inRussian) [1817]. There are two subfamilies of felids: Pantherinae (whichincludes tigers, lions, jaguars, snow leopards and leopards) and Phelinae(which includes cheetahs, cougars, lynxes, ocelots and domestic cats). Ourdomestic cats belong to the Phelinae subfamily (felines), they are extremelycurious carnivorous animals, which creates unusual and funny situations,they have excellent vision and hunting power. However, our feline friends,especially domestic cats, need our maximum protection, starting with placingprotective screens on the windows so they don't escape, get hurt or die fromfalling from an apartment in a building, for example. This work had the meritof showing the funniest and most typical episodes of our cat friends, whosebehaviors are recurrent and characteristic of these pets that focus on keencuriosity, hunting spirit, have generally clear eyes of different colors andtones, fur with different lengths and different tones, depending on thespecies of feline, and especially due to the long period that they sleep duringthe day. We educators, anthropologists, philosophers, psychoanalysts,librarians, writers and scientists understand the pedagogical andtransformative power that reading the world translates into the roles ofbooks and scientific articles, just as we understand reading as an activity thatdevelops concentration, the richness of language , of thought, imaginationand creation for personal, social, recreational and cultural purposes forreaders and their social network.
