Cats are a cosmopolitan species and are found across much of the world.[28] They are extremely adaptable and are now present on all the continents (including Antarctica) and on 118 of 131 main groups of islands.[151][152] Feral cats can live in forests, grasslands, tundra, coastal areas, agricultural land, scrublands, urban areas and wetlands.[153] Their habitats even include small oceanic islands with no human inhabitants.[154] However, this ability to thrive in almost any terrestrial habitat has led the cat's designation as one of the world's worst invasive species.[155] Despite this general adaptability, the close relatives of domestic cats, the African Wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) and the Arabian Sand Cat (Felis margarita) both inhabit desert environments,[4] and domestic cats still show similar adaptations and behaviors.[26]
