Cats obtain food in many different ways. Cats are carnivores.A outside cat or a stray may obtain food by hunting and catching prey such as mice. Inside cats only might obtain food by certain brands of food made for cats such as cat food. The breathing process for a cat is simply their respiratory system which involves the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide. When the cat takes in the oxygen in the air from its nose it then releases out the carbon dioxide.

Also they groom them on their fur and body by licking them.Cats also always make sure their babies are well protected in their care.
