According to legend, humans were able to domesticate cats only after our ancestors found a common language with other domesticated animals.
We love them just as much as any other pet.

Cats not only enjoy spending time with us, but also bring considerable health benefits. For example…
They keep us warm in winter. Do you suffer from frequent colds? Get a Sphynx.
This hairless cat will keep you warm in any weather due to its constant, extremely high body temperature of up to 42 degrees Celsius.
And since Sphynxes are completely hairless, they can be called the ideal pet for people with allergies.
They can prevent heart attacks. Cats are particularly useful for men with heart problems. Scientists from the USA claim that having a cat at home can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack in men by 20%.
The study involved 10,000 people aged 40 to 80. Additionally, 70% of men who lived to be 85 years old had cats.
According to biologists, this is due to the positive emotions resulting from long-term communication with a furry friend. However, cats do not have the same effect on women.
Experts believe that this is due to their ability to express negative emotions more frequently, so they need fewer furry therapists.
However, women do not agree with this claim. According to statistics, 53% of women prefer cats to other pets. For men, it's only 40%.
They can protect children from allergies. The presence of cats at home can protect children from allergies in the future. It's all about habit.
When a child grows up "in a greenhouse environment," they do not come into contact with allergens, and their immunity is not subject to any so-called "training."
However, we are talking about cases where the pet is in the house from the first days of the child's life. If the animal appears later, allergies may occur.
They strengthen bones. There is a theory that the purring of cats helps to prevent osteoporosis.
According to experts, the frequency and vibration of a cat's purring have a positive effect on bone health. Scientists in the USA conducted an experiment with chickens.
The birds were placed on a vibration platform with a frequency very similar to a cat's purring for 20 minutes each day.
The chickens affected by the sound grew faster and showed greater bone strength compared to the control group. Scientists suggest that the sound of a cat's purring may have a similar effect on humans.
They can prolong life. Scientists in Germany studied the health of over 3,000 elderly people.
The study included both individuals who owned cats and those who did not. It turned out that people in the first group lived an average of 10.3 years longer than those who did not have cats.
They can heal inflammation. You have probably noticed at least once when a cat lay on a sore spot. Not only does it warm the spot with its body heat, but it also acts as an electromagnetic emitter.
This is due to the cat's fur, which has a certain low-frequency current charge. Such a current is used in physiotherapy rooms to treat various inflammations.
