Cats history

Felis catus, is the scientific name for cat. Cats are warm-blooded animals, or called mammals, like us humans. Therefore, cat is also giving birth to its babies after carry it for about 2 -3 months, same goes to others in this group.

History says the cat has been around with humans for thousands of years ago. Originally, the cats’ main task is to get rid of household’s pests around the house. No wonder to this day, the cat still do the job entrusted to it since thousand years ago.

Today, cats not only being tasked to catch households’ pests, but as loyal companions to humans too. For example, Persian cat who has always been the first choice to be a pet cat. Cats of this type can be regarded as lazy because that's hard to see this cat play, let alone chasing pests. They just sit tight and wait for their owner to pamper them.

This situation is very different from the kind of domestic cat or house cat. This type of cat is more vibrant and active than ornamental cats. Cats of this type prefer to play games and chasing pests such as rats and small birds. Household cat is more independent because it is not confined or pressed between two fingers like the Persian.

Notwithstanding, the cat remains a favorite pet for people around the world. The inadequacy of the cat is natural since there is nothing is perfect in this world.
