Cat

The dominant species on earth.
You probably thought it was humans.
You were wrong
Scientific term for a common household cat is Felis Catus, this is not made up. Cats are four-legged mammals that are on average 12 pounds, The have tails that help them balance and hypersensitive senses, such as hearing, for the can opener, smelling, for any and all food, seeing, for scoping out the best place to sleep all day.
Cats have the hardest jobs, napping uses a lot of energy, but they're not napping, while they "sleep" they use telepathic messages to plan world domination. One day the cats will unite and destroy humanity. Cats are very intelligent creatures, with better memory than humans. Amazing pets, usually just put them outside in a bush whenever they need to go for a week and they're trained. Cats have claws for ripping your eyes out. Their claws are also used for defense, gripping onto tough surfaces, and climbing. They have very sharp teeth for chewing your bones from your dead skeleton. They are also used for chewing their food, and again, defense. Cats have no inward suction, the can't suck in air like we can, they can't eat or drink like we can, that's why cat's "lap" up their food and water.
this is all that i can say, if you wanted all that I know, this list would go on forever

Cat

Short for Catherine. This person is usually beautiful on the inside and the outside. she is nice to everyone and treats them with hers best and this leads to lots of people mistaking her for there best friend. If you are her friend, Well done hears a gold start. You got very lucky. Usually takes the social aspect of life and therefor must deal with conflict from others. If you know someone called cat and they bring conflict to your life, deal with it because she always will make up for any amount of conflict. Has bad self esteem usually but everyone knows she is a great person inside and outside and worth every effort. The people closest to her (Eg. boyfriends, brothers mums, Best friends and dads) all treat her like shit for no reason but everyone knows she only deserves the best. Orange eyes and most cats favorite color is green. If you ever see a cat (Catherine) alone and unhappy, this is because she has been miss-treated so go up to her make her feel exactly like she deserves, like a great person. Other girls should look up to this person, and make a attempt to be more like

Cat

1st Discription
The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from other felines, is a small predatory carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin, snakes and scorpions. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.5

A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.6 Cats may be the most popular pet in the world, with over 600 million in homes all over the world.7 They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as the "cat fancy".

Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal.8 However a 2007 study found that the lines of descent of all house cats probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) circa 8000 BC, in the Near East.4

2nd Discription
C.A.T Scan

Pictures of structures within the body created by a computer that takes the data from multiple X-ray images and turns them in pictures on a screen. The CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan can reveal some soft-tissue and other structures that cannot even be seen in conventional X-rays. Using the same dosage of radiation as that of an ordinary X-ray machine, an entire slice of the body can be made visible with about 100 times more clarity with the CAT scan.

The "cuts" (tomograms) for the CAT scan are usually made 5 or 10 mm apart. The CAT machine rotates 180 degrees around the patient's body; hence, the term "axial." The machine sends out a thin X-ray beam at 160 different points. Crystals positioned at the opposite points of the beam pick up and record the absorption rates of the varying thicknesses of tissue and bone. The data are then relayed to a computer that turns the information into a 2-dimensional cross-sectional image.

CAT scanning is painless. Iodine-containing contrast material is sometimes used in CAT scanning. If you are having a CAT scan and are allergic to iodine or other radiocontrast materials, please notify your doctor and the radiology staff.

CAT scanning was invented in 1972 by the British engineer Godfrey N. Hounsfield (later Sir Godfrey) and the South African (later American) physicist Alan Cormack. CAT scanning was already in general use by 1979, the year Hounsfield and Cormack were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for its development.

The CAT scan is also known as the CT (computerized tomography) scan.
