Chapter I: The Story & Human Friendship
The Adaptable Companion of Human History
For nearly 10,000 years, ever since ancient farmers in the Fertile Crescent began storing grain, domestic cats walked alongside human civilization. Known affectionate as Domestic Shorthairs (or Moggies), these cats sailed aboard ships, protected country barns, and warmed family hearths across every continent.
Because they evolved through natural selection rather than strict selective breeding, Domestic Shorthairs boast incredible health resilience and an infinite array of personality traits!
