Cats are small mammals. They are skilled climbers and love hiding in safe spaces.
Certain animals have flexible ears that can turn when they are alert. Said ears can be determined to understand the animal.
Dust bathing is the animal behavior of rolling in sand or dry ground or kicking ground on itself to clean itself, usually due to water being an impractical/lesser option. It is usually done by birds and certain small rodents (ie. chinchillas) whose fur or feathers are too thick for water and would weigh them down or build rot, but can be performed by a number of others mammals aswell, mainly as to clean up from parasites.
Whiskers are thick long hairs certain animals use to sense the environment using its nerve endings and be able to orient themselves, especially in darkness. It is primarily used by mammals, but certain birds and fish have similar appendages. They are usually located around the nose on the cheeks, but can also be above the eyes and/or on the back of the legs. Unlike normal hair, whiskers are thicker, longer, and contain a lot more nerve endings. They should never be cut or pulled as they are much more sensitive, their roots are much deeper, it can hurt the animal and cause it to become disoriented and bad at navigating until they grow back. Primarily known to be used by: cats, mice, opossums.
