Cat worship was widespread in ancient Egypt. Now, if the furry creatures are not worshiped, they are the first to be admitted into a new home, and also used to treat headaches and improve bioenergetics. Today the planet is inhabited by over 400 million purrs.
Australia
A continental country, the only continent where the world's most jumping animals live - the kangaroo. However, marsupials are outnumbered by felines. Australia ranks first in the number of cats in the world. For every ten inhabitants there are 9 domestic representatives of the feline family.
USA
In the late 1980s, a rumor spread in the state of California that cats were carriers of AIDS. This led to the mass murder of pets. Scientists had to spend a decent amount of time trying to prove the truth to the Americans. And today, the number of cats in the United States is not countable, unlike the amount they spend to feed them. Statistics allocate 4 billion dollars a year to the baleen-striped food. This is the largest waste on the list of similar ones in the world. The magnitude of the amount is more striking when you consider the fact that babies add only $ 3 billion to the budget during the year.
Indonesia
On the islands between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, 30 million cats coexist with the indigenous population.
France
Among European countries, France remains the leader in the number of cats. "Frogs", as the inhabitants of other countries call the French, have warmed up a little more than 8 million meows on their territory.
Frejos
A unique island in the Indian Ocean is a real feline state. The only owners of this territory are cats. All the fault of the shipwreck that occurred in 1980 off the coast of Frejos. A few people did survive and made it to land, taking with them a few cats. Only if people could not take root in this area, then cats gradually adapted to new conditions, learned to get their own food and began to reproduce. Feeding predominantly on sea creatures, the island's cat population numbers over a thousand individuals.
Other countries
However, few of the existing 400 million felines have the privilege of living in Peru or Gabon. In these countries, cats are an outlandish rarity, something of a tourist attraction.
In Vietnam, until some time, cats were treated like a delicacy. There was even a chain of specialty restaurants. Everything changed at the moment when the country was exposed to the invasion of mice. By official order, the restaurants were closed and the deliberate breeding of cats began.
The first cat museum in Germany can present to the audience about three thousand exhibits. The positions of watchmen and caretakers in the museum are 10 cats, who receive a salary in kind - food and a house overhead.
The Japanese temple of cats is dedicated to very special animals - cats, who served for hours in the war. In the 17th century, one of the commanders took seven cats into the army, by the narrowing and dilating pupils of which the Japanese determined the time.
