My pet is a 7-month-old cat named Phaksu. Phaksu likes to play with me and wakes me up every morning. There are approximately 500 million cats worldwide. People and cats have lived together for over 10,000 years. Cats are known for their play behavior which mimics hunting and helps kittens learn skills like stalking, capturing, and killing prey. Many cats enjoy playing with strings or dangling toys.
![History People and cats have lived together since 10 000 years ago. Two cats play fighting Domestic cats, especially young kittens, are known for their love of play. This behavior mimics hunting and is important in helping kittens learn to stalk , capture and kill prey. [46] Many cats cannot resist a dangling piece of string, or a piece of rope drawn randomly and enticingly across the floor. This well known love of string is often depicted in cartoons and photographs, which show kittens or cats playing with balls of yarn . It is probably related to hunting instincts , including the common practice of kittens hunting their mother's and each other's tails. If string is ingested, however, it can become caught in the cat’s stomach or intestines , causing illness, or in extreme cases, death. Due to possible complications caused by ingesting a string, string play is sometimes replaced with a laser pointer 's dot, which some cats will chase. While caution is called for, there are no documented cases of feline eye damage from a laser pointer, and the combination of precision needed and low energy involved make it a remote risk. A common compromise is to use the laser pointer to draw the cat to a prepositioned toy so the cat gets a reward at the end of the chase. A regular flashlight with a well-focused light spot has been commonly used in such play for decades, preceding the availability of consumer laser pointers. Cats will also engage in play fighting, with each other and with human partners. Humans "wrestling" with a supine cat, however, should be wary: if the cat is overstimulated or startled it may decide that the play has turned serious and cease to pull its punches; this can lead to serious scratches and occasionally even bites.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/my-pet-laurita1-1235111987096427-2/85/My-Pet-Laurita-6-320.jpg)
