Domain: Eukarya (all organisms with cells containing a nucleus) - Shared by all animals, plants, fungi, and many single-celled organisms.
Kingdom: Animalia (multicellular, heterotrophic organisms) - Shared by all animals.
Phylum: Chordata (animals with a backbone or notochord) - Shared by all vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals).
Class: Mammalia (warm-blooded vertebrates with hair/fur, mammary glands, and live birth) - Shared by all mammals (dogs, bats, whales, etc.).
Order: Carnivora (meat-eating mammals) - Shared by many other predators like dogs, bears, and seals.
Family: Felidae (cat-like animals) - This is where the close relatives of cats are grouped, including lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, and jaguars.
Genus: *Felis* (domestic cats and some wild cats) - This genus includes the domestic cat, the European wildcat, and the sand cat.
Species: *Felis catus* (domestic cat) - This is the specific name for the domestic cat.
So, to answer your question directly, here are some animals that share classification levels with cats:
* All animals: share Domain and Kingdom.
* All vertebrates: share Phylum.
* All mammals: share Class.
* Many predators: share Order.
* Other cat-like animals: share Family.
* Closely related wild cats: share Genus.
As you move down the classification levels, the number of animals sharing that level decreases, making the grouping more specific.
