Cats--Gotta Love 'Em!

Cat [kat] noun--
1. A fluffball that's full of love and makes a great furry friend!
2. The source of the purr, a sound that will cheer up anybody.
3. Something that is impossible to hate.

Everyone loves cats! But cats aren't just popular now, check out these cool facts about people who were cat lovers years ago...

1. It all started with the Ancient Egyptians. You probably know the story. Cats kept mice away so the Egyptians worshipped them as Gods. As Terry Pratchett says, "In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."
2. Isaac Newton owned a cat and also invented the cat flap (a.k.a. cat door!)
3. Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Rutherford B. Hayes all owned cats! Wow!
4. T. S. Eliot was a cat lover and wrote a whole book with poems about cats! This book is called "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Here's a fun fact that you may not know--The poems in this book were made into songs and from there, the musical "CATS" was made!

And here is something else you may not have known: You can read an excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "Macavity--The Mystery Cat" on our Cat Literature page! Click here to visit that page!

Joke :D :) :D :)

Why did the cat drop the computer?

It wanted to catch the mouse!


Yup, cats just love mice! Have a great day, cat lovers!
