Domestic cats are often called 'house cats' when kept as indoor pets. Cats have been domesticated (tamed) for nearly 10,000 years.
They are one of the most popular pets in the world. They are kept by humans for hunting rodents and as friends.
There are also farm cats, which are kept on farms to keep rodents away; and feral cats, which are domestic cats that live away from humans.
