The cat (Felis silvestris catus), also known as a domestic cat, urban cat or domestic cat, [4] is a carnivorous mammal of the felid family, very popular as a pet. Occupying the top of the food chain, it is a natural predator of several animals, such as rodents, birds, geckos and some insects. According to research conducted by American institutions, cats are the second most popular pet in the world, after aquarium fish. [5] [6] Census data suggest that in the United States there are more domestic cats than dogs. [7] The dog (scientific name: Canis lupus familiaris), [1] in Brazil also called a dog, is a carnivorous mammal of the canid family, a subspecies of the wolf, and perhaps the oldest animal domesticated by humans. Theories postulate that it emerged from the gray wolf on the Asian continent more than 100,000 years ago. Over the centuries, through domestication, the human being has made an artificial selection of dogs for their aptitudes, physical characteristics or types of behavior. The result was a great diversity of canine breeds, which vary in coat and size within their own breeds, currently classified into different groups or categories. The designations mongrel (in Brazil) or rafeiro (in Portugal) are given to mixed breed or crossbred dogs.
