Did you know that the first domestic cats appeared in Europe during the

Middle Ages? Since then, they’ve become a national passion and they’ve been

conquering their place in the sun. It is also believed that cats will soon replace

dogs – as the most popular pet.

Cats are cute, aren’t they? Being as affectionate, charismatic and loving as

dogs, cats have proven wrong the myth that they do not get attached to their

owners. In fact, they can form deep bonds with their owners. In addition, cats

teach that simplicity can bring happiness when having fun with a simple

cardboard box, for example.

Curiosities about cats

We have selected some peculiarities about cats that will make you even more

paws release.

responsible for emotion.
