As one of the most cherished animals on the planet, cats have been adored for centuries and some have even been thought to bring luck to families.
With cats developing a ‘meow’ many centuries ago in order to communicate with humans, their intelligent and sheer adorable nature can often make them a man’s best friend - even if dogs try to tell you differently!
