Science Comics: Cats ranges from the tiny kodkod to the tiger and neighborhood cat to investigate what the feline family shares. Teeth, claws, camouflage, habitat, and domestication carry the visual journey from wild predator to human companion.

The science inside

  • Evolution & Adaptation
  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Ecosystems
  • Animals & Zoology

Your child will meet:

  • Members of the cat family share inherited structures while differing greatly in size and habitat.
  • Teeth, claws, camouflage, and behavior help a feline find food and survive in its environment.
  • Domestication changes a population's relationship with humans across many generations.
  • Both inherited traits and lived experience contribute to an individual animal's behavior.

Use it this way

Select one wild cat and one domestic cat from the book and make a shared, wild-only, and domestic-only trait diagram. Require one pictured or stated piece of evidence in each section and keep the comparison observational rather than testing a pet's hunting response or touching an unfamiliar cat.
