	Introduction
		Because we brought the domestic cat to North America, we have a responsibility to both the cats and to the wild animals they may affect.
		In appearance, domestic cats are similar to their wild relatives, and many of their behaviors, such as hunting and other activity patterns, remain essentially unchanged from their ancestral form.
		The cats suffer because of disease and physical injury; native wildlife suffers from predation and competition, and colonies can be a source of disease for animals and humans.

		To a cat, a fish who eats algae, a bird who eats berries, and a giraffe who eats acacias are all meat for the hunting.
		The cat since ancient times has had dagger-like eyeteeth for fastening firmly onto prey, and strong, triangular cheek teeth which are capable of severing the victim's spine and shearing the flesh into bite-sized chunks that the cat can swallow.
		Meat-eating has also caused the cat to have a short intestinal tract, since meat is easy to digest and doesn't require a long, heavy gut (which would only weigh the cat down, slowing his ability to pounce and preventing him from hunting as effectively).
