Playful, brave, loving, and incorrigible! NATURE ponders those
EXTRAORDINARY CATS.
Video Cats command our attention and our devotion. These
fascinating creatures have been perplexing people for thousands of
years. Are they wild or tame? Aloof or emotional? Funny or
indignant? Angelic or mischievous? Needy or independent? The answer
is all of the above. And that's why we adore them.
In fact, they outnumber dogs as pets 66 million to 55 in the U.S.
After all, they're more independent, and, perhaps even more
significantly, cats provide us with a close connection to something
wild.
Indeed, no matter how well a cat is fed, stroked, brushed, and
otherwise fussed over, they are hunters at heart.
EXTRAORDINARY CATS profiles fascinating felines -- from Sooty, a
cat who found his way over 100 miles back home, to Scarlett, who
risked her life to save her kittens from a burning
building.
