Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world. They have been so for thousands of years.

Unlike dogs, cats are known for being independent. They are not readily trained to do tricks. In fact, cats are one of the few domestic animals that can successfully revert to living in the wild.

Even well-fed cats like to hunt small prey such as mice and birds. Cats are hygienic, however, and they take easily to the use of a litterbox indoors.

Cats have long appeared in art. In ancient Egypt, they appeared as gods in statues and paintings. They also appear in ancient art and writings from Greece, India, the Middle East, and elsewhere.

They are still a favorite subject of animal-loving artists today.
