Is it true that cats are related to bears?

They are distantly related.\n\nThey share the same taxonomic clade:\nKingdom (Animalia), phylum (chordata), subphylum (vertabrata), class (mammalia), order (Carnivora) but it ends there, cats go on to have the family Felidae and bears the family Ursidae\n\nAfter family there is still the clades genus and species.\n\nHumans spilt from bears and cats at the order level.\n\nA cat is just as related to a bear as it is a dog, a seal or a raccoon.

Since a Panda is Usually classified in the bear (ursidae) family, the young pandas are CUBS.\n\nThere was a debate about if they were on the bear or racoon family, but genetic testing proved they belong to the Ursidae.\n\nThe red panda is still debated if it belongs to the ursidae, the racoon ( Procyonidae ) or if they belong on a category of their own (Ailuridae)

Of course.  Any two animals can become friends.  There's nothing stopping that.  Check out these pictures.\n\nhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/catsdogs.htm\n\nThere was also a story this week about a snake and hamster that became friends in a zoo in Tokyo:\nhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/catsdogs.htm

Yes. It's a biologic tendency and does indeed run in families! ALL animals favor one over the other. Infact, Polar Bears are usually left-pawed.

Cats are independent and appear to be less loyal as they are not "pack" animals like dogs. Dogs think you are part of their pack (think wolves) and except for my dog they think you're the leader of the pack, hence their loyalty.  Cats are not pack animals and typically rely on their own wits for survival (think lion) but treated well will always love you as much as your dog

The Binturong (Arctictis binturong), also known as the Malay Civet Cat, the Asian Bearcat, the Palawan Bearcat, and just simply the Bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat but is a type of civet of the family Viverridae. The Binturong is endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching for their medicinal uses and their fur. Its natural habitat is forest canopy, and it spends most of its time in the trees of southeast Asia, Borneo, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Palawan Island.

Cats are very affectionate and loving creatures.  She feels safe and secure sleeping with you.  I have one that enjoys snuggling and sleeping next to me under the covers and one that prefers curling up on the foot of the bed.

Despite what the other people think, the South Pole has no polar bears.  If house is at the North Pole, which it must be if all the sides face south, then the bear will be a polar bear.  So White is its color.

They are around each other all the time and sibling rivalry has a lot to do with all the fights.  Mine fight like cats and dogs, but are very loyal to each other.  Go figure.
