Can you help a KITTEN become a CAT?score:

TRIVIA

Unlike other animals, cats domesticated themselves.

And aren't we glad they did! Since then, we've played our part too, breeding them for attributes that we find desirable - long hair or short fur, different colorations and markings, temperament, and even size. There are now around 60 recognised breeds.
