Un chat? c'est quoi?

Je suppose que tout le monde sait ce  qu'est un chat...
Mais qui connaît réellement les origines de ce mot?

Le chat domestique ou chat d'appartement est un mammifère carnivore de la famille des félidés. Le mot chat vient du bas-latin cattus (chat sauvage). D'après le Littré dans son édition de 1878, cattus proviendrait du verbe cattare, qui signifie guetter, ce félin étant alors considéré comme un chasseur qui guette sa proie.

Le chat domestique Felis silvestris catus est très proche du chat sauvage européen Felis silvestris silvestris et du chat sauvage africain (chat ganté) Felis silvestris libyca. Selon la plupart des zoologues contemporains, ces trois types de chats forment une unique espèce  : Felis silvestris^[1].

On dénombre aujourd’hui environ 80 races de chats.
