Cat Fact #30

May 2nd, 2015

Cats have lived a long time ago, not as long as dinosaurs but plenty long. Cats have lived 30 million years ago. Some cats say that wolves are the ancestors of modern day domestic dogs, so that must mean that big cats are the ancestors of modern day domestic cats. It is uncertain whether the cat that lived 30 million years ago was a big cat or a modern day domestic cat. However what is known is that, the earliest ancestor of the domestic cat Proailurus (first-cat in greek) lived over 30 million years ago.

A domestic cat can run up to 30 miles per hour for short distances. Some cats can run very fast.
