Pet camouflage

Time was when animals relied upon their ability to blend into natural surroundings as a tool for success in hunting and survival. Their fur coats might be textured or striped to look like grasses, or buff or brown to match the landscape.

Look to the photo to see the progress of the domesticated cat in adapting to its man-made environment. Just try walking on that black-and-white tile floor when the "tiles" are moving!
