Introduction
Cats (Felis catus) are domestic or house cats that may live with and around people as pets or working animals. Cats are mammals with four limbs. They vary in size but are relatively small. They may also be feral, meaning that they are a domesticated cat that is unused to or refuses human companionship and interaction. Cat bites are the bites that occur when a cat bites another living organism. For the purpose of understanding bacterial infections in cat bite wounds, “bites,” on this page, will be understood to mean when cats break the skin of another organism, resulting in puncture wounds of varying sizes, rather than when cats bite or grab another organism between their teeth without breaking the skin as an act of play. Cats often bite other cats, humans, and other mammals or birds. Cats may bite other smaller organisms, such as rodents or small birds, in order to kill them. They may also bite other cats in combat. Cats most often bite humans when they are threatened or scared in an attempt to escape or defend themselves.

Genetics
Section titles are optional.
[1]
Include some current research, with at least one image.
Call out each figure by number (Fig. 1).
Sample citations: [1]
[2]
A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing [4]
Second citation of Ref 1: [1]
Here we cite April Murphy's paper on microbiomes of the Kokosing river. [5]
Microbiome
Include some current research, with a second image.
Here we cite Murphy's microbiome research again.[5]
Conclusion
You may have a short concluding section.
Overall, cite at least 5 references under References section.
