They are frightened by cucumbers, sleep in the most unlikely places and twist into positions that cause back pain for many people just to look at them: cats are true solo entertainers.
That's why the little house cats are also very popular on social media.
Some cats even have their own Facebook and Instagram channels, which are lovingly maintained by the owners.
You can find even more exciting animal topics in the free newsletter from Landtiere.de, which you can subscribe to right here.
Cat videos are said to make people happier and more productive, according to a study by Indiana University's Media School in the USA.
The study of around 7,000 participants found that after watching cat videos, they felt better, had more energy than before and felt less anxiety or sadness afterwards.

They snooze, purr and often cuddle as much as they can.
And just the sight of the elegant pets can have a relaxing effect.
