THE CAT FAMILY by Laketempest 2010/11/25 12:38
Can you believe that lions and tigers, leopards and cheetahs, jaguars, mountain lions, ocelots, and lynx all belong to the cat family? These cats live in different places. They are not the same size or color. But there are many things about cats that are the same. All cats eat meat. A house cat purrs when it is happy. So does the puma, lynx, bobcat, and ocelot. Lions and tigers cannot purr, they roar. Jaguars and Leopards make coughing or barking sounds!
