The house cat has spread throughout the world as a human domesticate. It is a small cat which has adpated to a life in human houses, barns, granaries, and fields, where it earns its keep by killing pestiferous rodents. In modern times, many cats enjoy a life of leasure, kept soley as companionship. Where humans take their cats, feral cat populations soon follow. Not limited to preying on rodents, feral cats and pet cats that are allowed outdoors prey on a wide variety of small animals ranging from rodents and rabbits to songbirds, fish, and reptiles.
House cats are solitary hunters, but often tolerate the presence of others of their own kind. The cats living in a given area will have a social organization and hierarchy. Feral female cats tend to remain in the area where they are born, while males leave around sexual maturity to establish their own territories.
The progenitor of the domestic cat was the wild cat, a small cat that lives throughout Eurasia and northern Africa. Other than being nearly untamable, it is little different from the house cat. In modern times, few true wild cats are left, most have hybridized and intergaded with house cats.
Throughout the world there is a plethora species of small cats that can be treated just as wild cats for game purposes.
