For most than thousand years, cats still the most popular pet. People love them for easiness and tender character. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including mewing (”meow” or “miaow”), purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting. Cats are popular pets and are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as the “Cat Fancy”.

A study by the National Cancer Institute published in the journal Science says that all house cats are descended from a group of self-domesticating desert wildcats Felis silvestris lybica circa 10,000 years ago, in the Near East. All wildcat subspecies can interbreed, but domestic cats are all genetically contained within F. s. lybica.
