Dogs are submissive and faithful to their masters, but cats like to be independent. Cats are especially lovable when they are still kittens. As kittens they like to play by chasing anything that moves. That's how they learn to hunt mice, birds, insects and other smallcreatures. A lot of people keep cats so they can have a pet .As kittens grow into cats, they like to stay indoors. They like regular meals and enjoy sleeping in front of a nice fire. However,they also like going out. During the day time and at night theylike to go hunting. Sometimes during the night they havefightswith other cats. Cats are very clean animals.
