\cat\ (k[a^]t), n. [AS. cat; akin to D. & Dan. kat, Sw.

1. (Zo["o]l.) Any animal belonging to the natural family
Felidae, and in particular to the various species of the
genera
Felis,
Panthera, and
Lynx. The domestic cat
is
Felis domestica. The European wild cat (
Felis catus
) is much larger than the domestic cat. In the
United States the name
wild cat is commonly applied to
the bay lynx (
Lynx rufus). The larger felines, such as
the lion, tiger, leopard, and cougar, are often referred
to as cats, and sometimes as big cats. See
Wild cat, and
Tiger cat.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: The domestic cat includes many varieties named from
their place of origin or from some peculiarity; as, the
Angora cat; the
Maltese cat; the
Manx cat; the
Siamese cat.
[1913 Webster]
Laying aside their often rancorous debate over
how best to preserve the
Florida panther, state
and federal wildlife officials,
environmentalists, and independent scientists
endorsed the proposal, and in 1995 the eight cats
[female Texas cougars] were brought from Texas
and released. . . .
Uprooted from the arid hills of West Texas, three
of the imports have died, but the remaining five
adapted to swamp life and have each given birth
to at least one litter of kittens. --Mark Derr
(N. Y. Times,
Nov. 2, 1999,
Science Times
p. F2).

from some fancied resemblance; as, civet cat, fisher
cat, catbird, catfish shark, sea cat.
