Description
Cat on a Hot Tile Roof is an abstracted version of a wary black cat roving around on the roof of an old mission style apartment building in San Diego, California, shot in the summer.
The domestic cat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. Cats are valuable to humans for companionship, and their ability to hunt vermin and household pests.
Cats are similar in anatomy to other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats and kittens can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, although solitary hunters, are a social species; feline communication includes various vocalizations such as mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting!
