However, it is "equally likely that the forms might derive from an ancient Germanic word, imported into Latin and thence to Greek and to Syriac and Arabic". The Nubian word may be a loan from Arabic قَطّ qaṭṭ ~ قِطّ qiṭṭ. The Nubian word kaddîska 'wildcat' and Nobiin kadīs are possible sources or cognates. The Late Latin word may be derived from an unidentified African language. The origin of the English word cat, Old English catt, is thought to be the Late Latin word cattus, which was first used at the beginning of the 6th century. As of 2021, there were an estimated 220 million owned and 480 million stray cats in the world. In the United Kingdom, 26% of adults have a cat, with an estimated population of 10.9 million pet cats as of 2020. Animal population control of cats may be achieved by spaying and neutering, but their proliferation and the abandonment of pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, contributing to the extinction of bird, mammal and reptile species.Īs of 2017, the domestic cat was the second most popular pet in the United States, with 95.6 million cats owned and around 42 million households owning at least one cat. Domestic cats are bred and shown at events as registered pedigreed cats, a hobby known as cat fancy. It also secretes and perceives pheromones.įemale domestic cats can have kittens from spring to late autumn in temperate zones and throughout the year in equatorial regions, with litter sizes often ranging from two to five kittens. ![]() It can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by small mammals. Cat communication includes vocalizations like meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting as well as cat body language. It is a social species, but a solitary hunter and a crepuscular predator. It has a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth, and its night vision and sense of smell are well developed. Because of its retractable claws it is adapted to killing small prey like mice and rats. It is valued by humans for companionship and its ability to kill vermin. It is commonly kept as a house pet and farm cat, but also ranges freely as a feral cat avoiding human contact. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC. The cat ( Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae.

Like other Old World porcupines, the Indian crested porcupine is nocturnal. For these reasons, they are often regarded as a nuisance. They are also considered serious agricultural pests in many parts of their range due to their taste for agricultural crops. These porcupines can act as substantial habitat modifiers when excavating for tubers. Their capability to form substantial fat reserves is a useful adaptation for living in seasonally fluctuating habitats. They have also been known to chew on bones to acquire minerals, such as calcium, that aid in quill growth. Because they are cecal digesters, they are able to exploit low quality forage. They consume a variety of natural and agricultural plant material, including roots, bulbs, fruits, grains, drupe and tubers, along with insects and small vertebrates. Indian crested porcupines have a very broad and mostly herbivorous diet. In 2018, a porcupine was spotted at Wadi Wurayah in the United Arab Emirates. More specifically, the northern range of the Indian crested porcupine is limited by minimum summer night duration: they do not occur above latitudes where minimum night duration is less than 7 hours, presumably because of the amount of foraging time required to meet their dietary needs. Their range seems to be limited by seasonal densities of forage and the availability of suitable substrates for digging burrows. They prefer rocky hillsides, but are also common in tropical and temperate shrublands, grasslands, forests, plantations, and gardens. Due to their flexible environmental tolerances, Indian crested porcupines occupy a broad range of habitats. Indian crested porcupines are found throughout southwest and central Asia, including Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Yemen. Indian crested porcupine on a rocky hillside Like all porcupines, the Indian crested porcupine has a good sense of smell and sharp, chisel-like incisors. It has broad feet with long claws used for burrowing. The Indian crested porcupine has a stocky build with a low surface area to volume ratio, which aids in heat conservation. Contrary to popular belief, Indian crested porcupines (like all porcupines) cannot shoot their quills. The base of the tail contains shorter quills that appear white in color, with longer, hollow quills that the porcupine can rattle to produce a warning sound when threatened. These smaller quills are used to stab at potential threats. Smaller (20 cm) and more rigid quills are packed densely on the back and rump. ![]() These quills can grow up to 51 cm (20 in) long, with most measuring between 15 and 30 cm (5.9 and 11.8 in). The longest quills are located on the neck and shoulder, where the quills form a "skirt" around the animal. Each quill is connected to a muscle at its base, allowing the porcupine to raise its quills when it feels threatened. They are made of keratin and are relatively flexible. The quills are brown or black with alternating white and black bands. It is covered in multiple layers of modified hair called quills, with longer, thinner quills covering a layer of shorter, thicker ones. The lifespan of wild Indian crested porcupines is unknown, but the oldest known captive individual was a female that lived to be 27.1 years old. Their body (from the nose to the base of the tail) measures between 70 and 90 cm (28 and 35 in) with the tail adding an additional 8–10 cm (3.1–3.9 in). The Indian crested porcupine is a large rodent, weighing 11–18 kg (24–40 lb). It belongs to the Old World porcupine family, Hystricidae. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The Indian crested porcupine ( Hystrix indica) is a hystricomorph rodent species native to southern Asia and the Middle East. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can finally create the perfect image to represent your brand without having to hire a graphic designer to do the job.

On February 14, 1987, the Charlotte Observer began using the term "Uptown" as a way to promote a more positive upbeat image of the Center City area. In 1973, a massive campaign was launched by local businessman Jack Wood to revamp the image of the downtown area and embrace the historic and arguably uniquely Charlotte term "Uptown" by reintroducing it to the general public. The term "Downtown" was commonly used up until the mid-1970s by residents, media, and city leaders for the Center City. The term "Up-Town", referring to the geographic location of Tryon and Trade Street-"uptown" actually does sit at a higher elevation than the rest of the city-was recorded as early as 1895 in the Charlotte Observer but fell out of use around 1929 for reasons unknown. There is some confusion brought about by the use of the terms "Uptown" and "Downtown" for Charlotte's center city area. ![]() Name origins Ĭharlotte's central business district is referred to as "Uptown" by locals, although the term "Downtown" is understood and used by native Charlotteans since it references the same area of the city.

Athletic and event facilities located in Center City include Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Truist Field, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
