I am NOT a cat person, but I gotta say, cats are kinda crushing it out there.
All over the world, cat populations continue to grow while most wild predators are in steep decline.
Apart from dogs, cats are the most abundant predatory mammals the world has ever seen.
There are between 600 million and a BILLION domestic cats in the world.
But here's the thing: we actually have no idea what cats are doing when we are not around.
Which is a pretty typical cat thing, right?
So I met up with some scientists conducting not only the biggest study of cat movement in the world, but the largest tracking study of any species - to find out what exactly cats are doing out there.
I'm Shane Campbell-Staton, and this is Human Footprint.
You actually own cats.
I– We have four cats here in the house.
