Brown tabby

Felis catus

Description:

This is a large brown-golden tom cat with green eyes. It is a common Mackerel tabby, with the classic "M" on forehead, and striped pattern. Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small game. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans

Habitat:

Indoors

Notes:

I loved this cat. It used to sleep all the time (probably more than the typical sleeping hours for a cat i.e. 16 hours) and the eyes were sleepy all the time, as you can see in the picture as well.
