response: Yes ! They are often valued by humans for companionship
history: There's a cat that always comes at the same time every day to take a nap under a tree in my yard. He's pretty adorable. Aw, that's nice! Is it a meat-eater like most cats? Indeed. I left him food once and when I woke up the next morning, there was a lump of dead bird at my window. I think we're friends now. So, do you think the cat was a housecat (i.e. indoor cat)? He might be. He probably belongs to someone who lets him out every day.
knowledge: They are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin.
