Cats have mingled with human life since at least 5,000 years BC, with the discovery of a cat skeleton on the island of Cyprus.[7] Since the time of 3,500 BC, the Ancient Egyptians used cats to keep away mice or other rodents from the barns where they stored crops.[8] Currently, cats are one of the most popular pets in the world.[9] Cats whose lineage is officially recorded as pure breed cats, such as Persian, Siamese, Manx, and sphinx. Cats like this are usually bred in official pet keeping. The number of purebred cats is only 1% of all cats in the world, the rest are cats with mixed ancestry, such as wild cats or domestic cats. Cats are also a type of pet that is in great demand because of their cute behavior.
