Cat

The cat is a small carnivorous mammal. Cats typically weigh between 2.5 and 7 kg (5.5-16 pounds); however, some breeds, such as the Maine Coon can exceed 11.3 kg (25 pounds). They possess rather loose skin, which enables them to turn and confront a predator or another cat in a fight, even when it has a grip on them. Cat is intelligent and can be trained to obey simple commands. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including mewing ("meow" or "miaow"), purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.
