Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s certainly alright for you to be curious about felines! Cats are complex creatures – one second they’re cuddly and friendly and at the drop of a hat they’re ignoring you or attacking your ankles. Despite their colorful attitudes (which are very human-like), cats love their owners as much as we love them (they just express their love in unique ways).

Cats have been adored by humans for centuries. In Ancient Egypt, cats were great companions and they were even worshiped as mythical symbols of divinity. From that time until now, people have treated cats like family members. But, how much do you know about cats?
