Live alone [edit]
Cats are usually solitary nocturnal, they live at night and see well enough in the dark. They live on land of varied shapes and sizes, divided into activity zones strategically placed (feeding area, rest, no water, etc..). To feed, they must hunt prey, different in kind and where they live. But despite their skills, a successful hunt is not always guaranteed, and the cats eat only every 3 to 4 days on average (it varies according to season, habitat and diet). In the cheetah, for example, it is estimated that hunting is successful only once in three. And even if the prey is caught, it is sufficient that the cat has taken to his unsteady she escapes.
Apart from hunting, cats spend most of their time sleeping (18 hours a day) or just to bask in their shelter. The carnivorous diet of cats explains this behavior: the meat is digested quickly, allowing them to feed less often, and hunting the heavily depleted (in the cheetah, the energy expended in the race is such that it can generally not catch its prey if it runs away then, and can not recover if the other predators steal it).
