Yes. Meerkats are mammals. When meerkats are born, they have no fur, their eyes are not open, and they drink their mother's milk. They are warm blooded. These features make them mammals.

They are in the Civet and Mongoose family and their scientific name is Suricata suricatta.

Meerkats do not have any cats? They have babies called pups. They just sit in the burrow for a few weeks, then they go above ground and start foraging withing a week or two.
