Pet cats, as the name suggests, are cats kept as pets. Some people in life raise cats to eliminate loneliness or to find some joy, making cats their everyday companions. According to data, the ancestors of domestic cats are estimated to have originated from the desert cats of ancient Egypt and Persian cats of Persia, domesticated by humans for more than 3,500 years. Therefore, humans' fondness for cats needs little explanation. Cats are natural enemies of mice, and during the transition from functional to ornamental roles, cats have held a very high status and special affection in people's hearts.

According to records, there are roughly 42 breeds of cats worldwide, including Persian cats, Garfield cats, Ocicat, Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Egyptian Mau, Siamese, Chinchilla, Birman, Balinese, Bombay, Burmese, Ragdoll, Maine Coon, Curly cat, Singaporean cat, Norwegian Forest cat, Tabby cat, Bengal cat, Somali cat, American Shorthair, Turkish Van, and more.
