WHAT IS A CAT?

The domestic cat has secured its place as the globe's most cherished companion, yet its history spans far from its current docile disposition. The intricate interplay between humans and cats took root in the Near East roughly 10,000 years ago. During this era, cats wielded their prowess to quell rodent infestations that menaced the grain stores of burgeoning towns and villages. While Egypt started to embrace cats as pets around 2000 BCE, the diverse spectrum of cat breeds we now know emerged only within the last century.
Cats, renowned for their rapid agility, epitomize the natural world's athletes.
