Independent, mysterious and funny, that’s how cats are. This species inhabits almost every corner of the planet and has accompanied humanity for millennia. But have you ever wondered what a world would be like without cats?
Cats are internet stars, kings of viral memes, and protagonists of videos that we can watch for hours. Today, it is impossible to escape the influence of cats as they always find a way to grab our attention. So what would a world be like without these little felines?

Let’s put it in a nutshell: if cats were to disappear completely, humanity would be in grave danger. No, we are not being dramatic, life as we know it would take a drastic turn. Next, we will tell you why.
The news is everywhere, a tragedy has occurred, and the topic is trending on social networks. The world ran out of cats. In the distance, the laments of the owners can be heard, who have lost their feline friend. Clearly, waking up to a world without cats would be a shocking experience.
However, the problem does not end here, after a few weeks in a world without cats. The rodent population would grow out of control. This is because cats are among the ten most efficient hunters on the planet and their job is to keep the numbers of rats and mice under control.
Instinctively, cats are predators and have a wide variety of prey. Sometimes they even take them to their owners as a gift of goodwill. If cats were to be absent, the number of invasive species would be out of control, devouring crops and wreaking havoc in cities. A fact that would end the balance of the ecosystem.
With the passage of time, humanity would be on the brink of an unprecedented crisis, because until now, we have not invented anything that is as efficient at controlling pests as cats. Who would’ve guessed? These felines have part of the destiny of planet earth in their little claws.
Currently, many species of felines are at serious risk of disappearing. Tigers, lions, clouded panthers, leopards, ocelots, and lynx are part of the list of threatened animals, since they suffer the consequences of poaching and the loss of their natural habitat.

However, the domestic cat stands out for being one of the most numerous animal species that exist. It is estimated that, today, there are about 600 million cats.
Certainly, a world without cats would be a terrifying place, teeming with pests and people who could never hug their feline friend after a long day at work. Unimaginable, right?
