Where is a cat's natural habitat?

Answer 1

Cats are descended from desert-dwelling sand cats, and so they were originally found in Egypt and the Middle East. These days cats live in the wild anywhere that it's warm or temperate (they can't survive very cold weather without shelter) and all over the world as indoor pets.

Answer 2

That depends on the cat. For a domestic cat it could be your house or apartment or your yard and porch. For some domestic cats it is the neighborhood they live in. In the case of feral cats, they can live in many habitats. Some live in colonies on islands.

In regards to the bigger wild cats, again it depends on the cat.

This list is not exhaustive of all of the cats around the world but it gives a good overview of many of the world's felines and their habitats. Most of this information came from either Wikipedia or the book Animal. The rest was information that I knew already due to my love of felines.

Answer 3

Felines tend to enjoy being in subfreezing environments. Domestic cats really enjoy being put in the freezer for a couple hours a day. They also like to be put in compact spaces with fellow cats. I am actually a cat specialist, so i would know!

Answer 4

Now it depends if your talking about the Bengal tiger or the Bengal domestic cat. Bengal tigers can be found in India I believe they live mostly in forest, but the Bengal cat which is a cross between domestic felines and an Asian leopard cat. The Bengal cat was created for the purpose of a house cat so its habitat would be in the home of a human.
