Outdoor cats are active both day and night, although they tend to be slightly more active at night. [87] Domestic cats spend the majority of their time in the vicinity of their homes but can range many hundreds of meters from this central point. They establish territories that vary considerably in size, in one study ranging from 7to 28 hectares (17–69 acres). [88] The timing of cats' activity is quite flexible and varied but being low-light predators, they are generally crepuscular, which means they tend to be more active in the morning and evening. However, house cats' behaviour is also influenced by human activity and they may adapt to their owners' sleeping patterns to some extent. [89] [90] a b Linnaeus, C. (1758). "Felis Catus".

Kittens are weaned between six and seven weeks of age. Queens normally reach sexual maturity at 5–10 months, and males at 5–7 months. This varies depending on breed. [149] Kittens reach puberty at the age of 9–10 months. [146] One feral cat in New Zealand killed 102 New Zealand lesser short-tailed bats in seven days. [184] In the US, feral and free-ranging domestic cats kill an estimated 6.3 – 22.3billion mammals annually. [132] Nassar, R.; Mosier, J. E.; Williams, L. W. (1984).
