Cat
Cats are cute, soft and agile animals that often live near us, in our homes. They purr when they are happy and love to play with balls and rustling toys.
Did you know that the cat is one of man's earliest friends among animals? Yes, yes! Humans and cats became friends a long time ago.
Cats have magic eyes. They can see even when the room is dark. Imagine if you had a torch in your eyes! Also, cats are real detectives! They have very sharp ears, so they can hear even very quiet sounds. They also have a great sense of smell! They can recognise the smell of food or another cat from afar.
Different breeds of cats
There are so many different kinds of cats in the world! There are big and fluffy ones like Siberian or Maine Coons, and small ones like British cats. But they all love warmth, play and attention in the same way.
What cats do
Cats like to play! They may jump after a laser pointer or chase their tail. But they also sleep a lot! It's not at all surprising if you see a cat sleeping on a windowsill or in a cosy chair.
Cat's language
Cats have their own special language. They purr when they're happy and hiss if they don't like something. When a cat rubs against your legs, it says, "I like you!"
Why cats are so clean
You've probably noticed that cats wash themselves very often. There's a reason for that! Cats are big fans of cleanliness. It's just as important for them as it is for us to wash our faces in the morning and evening.
When a cat washes its face, it sticks out its tongue and licks its fur thoroughly. Cats have a slightly rough tongue, and this helps them to clean dust and dirt from their fur well.
When a cat washes itself, it not only cleans its coat, but it also cools itself down in the heat, grooms its coat to make it soft and shiny, and makes it feel calmer and cosier.
How to take care of a cat
A cat needs your love and care. You need to give it food, water, play with it and pet it. And don't forget a clean litter tray - it's important for a cat!
Cats are wonderful friends. They can be independent and mysterious, but they are always loyal to their owners and bring a lot of joy to the house.
