Have you ever wanted to be an animal? If I could be any animal I wanted to be, I would be a cat. Cats have strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poor color vision and a better sense of smell than humans.
