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.
