A cat is a small, meat-eating animal that is often kept as a pet. Cats are good at hunting mice. Most dogs don't like cats, and are often seen chasing them up trees. Cats spend over half of their time asleep. A baby cat is called a kitten.
Something is cute if it is attractive, and small or young. Things that are often described as cute include kittens, puppies and babies, but many other things can be called cute too.
