A cute little distraction and a little genetics for the day. Take the first letter of three of the four nucleotides, and you can spell the word “cat.” Take a look at the two genomes, and you'll find that over 90% of the DNA in humans and cats is the same.
To quote a few lines from a poem by one of my genetic relatives (7th cousin 1x removed)...
"You should need no interpreter
To understand their character.
You now have learned enough to see
That Cats are much like you and me..."
--from The Ad-Dressing of Cats by T.S. Eliot
Sorry dog people, genomic studies show that Fido and Fifi only share about 82% of their DNA with humans.
By the way, house cats share over 95% of their DNA with big cats.
