Cats and dogs are both mammals but belong to different families; cats are in the Felidae family and dogs are in the Canidae family. They have different physical characteristics, like cats having retractable claws for climbing and hunting, while dogs have a strong sense of smell and are often more social than cats. These differences help them adapt to different environments and lifestyles.
