Why Cat is Important to Africans

Cats are very important to Africans in a different perspective. This due to the fact that cat consumes rodents such as rats, mice, lizards, etc. These rodents usually when they find their ways into one's room, can destroy household property and could equally introduce disease if  coming in contact with food/food items. With the reasons mentioned above, that makes Africans cats to be domestically friendly.
It is worth knowing that Africans do not play with domestic animals unlike European and American countries. They do not pet their animals rather pursue them if they suddenly have an access to their bedrooms and other places restricted to them.

Cats are also important considering man's consumption. However, 80% of African cats are raised for the purpose of tackling and eradication of rodents in an environment. Other percentage raised is for consumption purpose. This therefore implies that in African countries it is very rear for one to purchase cats mainly for consumption although they test just like chicken but not priority as table food in Africa.
