CATS

Cats, are believed to be first domesticated by the ancient Egyptians over 8,000 years ago around 2600 BC. They were later venerated as a sacred animal and were even mummified by the Egyptians when they died.

It was only in the 19th century that the first pedigree (with a family lineage) breeds were developed. In fact, more than 300 breeds and varieties are recognised now, the main distinguishing characteristics being head shape and the length of hair.

Cats are very independent among the pets, living by their own set of rules. But they need and value companionship and make wonderful pets.

These quiet creatures groom themselves and come in a wide variety of colors, coats and generally placid temperaments. Most of them are best suited to indoor as well as outdoor life.

You can make a good relationship with these pets and develop mutual understanding, tolerance and respect.

SELECTING A CAT

Cats make easy to care and relatively inexpensive pets, but they do need basic equipment, food, shelter and a share of loving attention.

Cat as a pet is a long-term decision in the sense that cats may live for 10 years or more and it involves long term responsibility and commitment. So take your time to research and consider the options before you decide to take on a cat as a live in pet.
