❌But in Europe, cats were subjected to the Inquisition. It was believed that they were guides between witches and the forces of evil. Having exterminated cats in Europe, people received an invasion of rats and a plague epidemic.

The smallest cats are considered to be representatives of the Indian red spotted breed living in Sri Lanka. Their weight is about one and a half kilograms, and the size is about 40 centimeters.

✋🏻The skin pattern on the nose of a cat is comparable to fingerprints in its uniqueness.
