have brains that weigh up to 25% less than those that live

being frightened and hiding in the company of people they

They are much less likely to gain weight due to lack of
movement and to suffer related illnesses.

They are less likely to ruin furniture out of boredom.

days, two or more cats keep each other company and are more

other.
