House cats have whiskers above their eyes. In case they are blind the whiskers are so they can feel. To talk they purr and meow. They use their sharp claws to defend themselves  when they are in trouble.  But not all house cats have sharp claws.  They will if you don't have them clipped. They can have perky ears that stick up. You can see their ears turn to the side. They are really good climbers and like to play with people. A cat's bite is the worst bite. Most are very friendly and like to rub up against  you.
