Felinology

Felinology is the study of cats. [As noted in the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine [http://www.vfs.unsa.ba/ba_docs/desavanja/workshop_bologna_2007/7a_Beograd.ppt Curriculum] ] The term has a Latin-Greek origin and comes from the Latin word "felinus" (of cats, feline) and the Greek "-logos" (science). Felinology is concerned with studying the anatomy, genetics, physiology, and breeding of domestic cats.
