Cats

The cat was once worshiped by ancient Egyptians and has continued to enchant humans over the centuries, becoming the most popular household pet.

All domesticated cats are believed to be descendants of a group of desert wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica), beginning around 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. Domestic cats are known for their hunting skills, amazing agility and loving (yet independent) personalities.

To help you decide on the perfect feline companion, RightPet provides pages for all the major domesticated cat breeds. Please share your experiences with the cats you've owned (or more likely, the cats who have owned YOU)!
