00:00Cats were first domesticated about 9,000 years ago in the Middle East, and they have lived alongside humans ever since.
00:08They are natural hunters. Their ability to catch mice and small rodents made them especially valuable in early farming societies.
00:18A cat's body is extremely flexible. It has over 230 bones, which helps it land on its feet when falling from heights.
00:27Their heart rate is also much faster than humans, beating between 140 and 220 times per minute.
00:36Cats don't just communicate by meowing. They also use their ears, tails, and body language to express themselves.
00:44Interestingly, adult cats usually meow only to communicate with humans, not with other cats.
00:51There are more than 70 recognized cat breeds worldwide, and millions of cats live as beloved pets in human homes.
01:01In short, cats have been independent yet affectionate companions and an inseparable part of human life for thousands of years.
