Cats!
A cat is a member of the feline species, readily identifiable for its adorableness and other affiliated quirks and charms. Felines extend from the tiger to the housecat - a less ferocious animal that is less aware of exactly how much less ferocious it is. Cats are an interesting quirk of evolution - at an early point in human history (roughly 12,000 years ago)[1], they began to live near settled humans, and by their reliance on early human tribes, began to be domesticated, and developed traits to aid in its newfound life.[2]
Now iconic in popular culture, the domestic housecat is the source of various internet comedy memes.
