Contrary to popular belief, the cat is a social animal. A pet cat will respond and answer to speech , and seems to enjoy human companionship.

This is very true and I know this firsthand. Cats do not like to be left alone long. They will howl a lot. They get lonely.

The earliest ancestor of the modern cat lived about 30 million years ago. Scientists called it the Proailurus, which means “first cat” in Greek. The group of animals that pet cats belong to emerged around 12 million years ago.

A cat’s jaw can’t move sideways, so a cat can’t chew large chunks of food.

On average, a cat will sleep for 16 hours a day.
