Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Windows 2000 Active Directory is a domestic cat (felis silvetris) and her kitten. The domestic cat is a descendant of the African wild cat, which first inhabited the planet almost a million years ago. Other early forerunners to the cat existed as many as 12 million years ago.

The domestic cat is one of the most popular house pets in the world. There are hundreds of breeds of domestic cats, which weigh anywhere from five to thirty pounds, with an average of twelve pounds. The cat is slightly longer than it is tall, with its body typically being longer than its tail. Domestic cats can be any of eighty different colors and patterns. They often live to be fifteen to twenty years old; ten years for a human life is about equal to sixty years for a cat.

The cat's gestation period is approxiately two months, and each litter may contain three to seven kittens. Mother cats teach their kittens to eat and to use litter boxes. Kittens can leave their mother's side ideally at the age of twelve weeks, and are considered full-grown at the age of about three years.
