NARRATOR: Get ready for...
Things You Wanna Know.
This four-legged friend comes in a variety of colors and coat lengths.
Has long whiskers and sometimes mischievous motives.
Does this sound like your pet?
My guess is, it's a cat!
Humans and domestic cats have developed close relationships over many years.
The history of house cats dates back 12,000 years ago in the Middle East.
Today, there are now 500 million domestic cats in the world.
Making cats one of the most popular pets!
Over time, these loveable felines have made cat lovers believe they're
truly out of this world!
And literally, they've made a leap for mankind, with the first cat blasting off into
outer space in 1963.
Cats' amazing feats don't just stop there.
Towser the Mouser, the famous mouse champion,
caught almost 30,000 mice in her lifetime!
There's even a statue dedicated to her in Scotland.
These cute companions share a special bond with their human friends.
So much that cats think of us, as bigger versions of themselves.
Unlike, dogs who immediately change their behavior when they see us.
Cats tend to treat people like their fellow felines.
Propping their tails up, rubbing against our legs and lying beside us.
These cuddle buddies' favorite past time is sleeping.
Cats can sleep up to 20 hours a day!
Resting so much that a nine-year-old cat would have been awake for only three
years of its life!
Talk about beauty sleep.
These cute cat-nappers may sleep their days away, but they always make time to show
their human friends just how loveable and loyal they are.
