5 GRANDES GATOS que han hecho HISTORIA y no deben caer en el olvido 🐱🌟 De la Antártida al espacio 🌌

Surely your cat is the most important thing in the world to you, and I don't mean to say that it isn't right, but let me introduce you to these five cats that have made history. Hi, I'm Carlos and I'm a veterinarian. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. As I've said before, cats are the great forgotten ones in the history of humanity. We always remember, I don't know, famous dogs, or we always say that dogs are man's best friend. But we don't take into account the great feats that our feline companions have performed. Today. I'm going to finish with that, and I want to do justice, or at least do my bit, so that we can get to know these five great cats in the history of humanity. First of all, I want to tell you that these are cats that have really lived. They don't belong to fiction, novels, cartoons or movies. They are real cats that have played a role in some important moment in history. The astronaut CAT Felicet Surely, if I ask you about an astronaut animal, one name will come to Laika, a dog that was launched into space by the Soviets in 1957 aboard the Sputnik 2 spacecraft. But practically no one knows that. A few years later, I have it written down here. In 1963, the French also had their own cosmonaut animal. In this case, the cat Felisa. Look at her. She looks a bit like Snowy and everything. Actually, before the launch, Felicet didn't have a name. The researchers did it that way to avoid creating too many connections. Felicet the cat was trained exactly the same way human astronauts are trained. Felicet was a stray cat rescued from the streets of Paris that in 1963, to be exact, on October 18, made a trip outside the atmosphere. This trip lasted approximately 13 minutes and returned safe and sound to our planet. Unlike the dog Laika, who died during her space trip. The thing is that Felicet is not very well known. In fact, until very recently, there was no monument or plaque recognizing this feat. In 2017, someone noticed this situation and started spreading the word on social media that they wanted to build a monument to Felice at. In the end, a statue was built and it's the one you're seeing right now. But I couldn't find any information on the Internet about where it is. So if you know where the monument to Felicet, the astronaut cat, is, leave me a comment and we can organize a pilgrimage to see it. CC Copy CAT or carbon copy. This name may not ring A bell. But if I mention Dolly the sheep, you probably already know where her story goes. Dolly was the first cloned mammal. This cloning was done in 1997. A few years later, in 2001, CC or copycat bond cat, depending on where you search for the name, you'll come across it in one way or another, became the first cloned cat in history. Well, she's actually a female cat. Cece lived for 18 years, which is not bad for a cat. And she was exactly the same, genetically speaking, as the donor cat named Rainbow. Although surely no one would say that they are two genetically identical cats, the colors are completely different. This is because the color of your cat does depend on the genes, but the pattern on its body, the drawings will depend on the development that occurs in the mother's womb. At that time, some genes begin to express themselves, others may not be expressed as much, and a completely different pattern develops. This means that although they are genetically identical cats, as if they were the same cat, they do not have the same colors on the outside. Logically, when we think of Dolly, who was a white sheep, it is more difficult to notice these types of situations. But in the case of cats, it is very obvious. If this whole genetics and cat colors thing has caught your attention and you want to know why your cat is the color it is, don't miss this video where we talk about it here on the channel. I'll leave a link to it in the box. Larry the Cat Prime Minister the bad thing about being a politician is that every four years you practically have to think about whether you have to pack your bags and move out of the house you live in because you might not be elected again. But Larry doesn't have this problem because he's the official cat of Downing Street. Downing street is the official residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Larry is very lucky because he moved into this House 12 years ago and has seen no less than five British Prime Ministers pass through its walls. David Cameron, Theresa May, Corisa May, Boris Johnson, Lee Tross, and the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak. Imagine if he can put up with all these politicians who come and go. Larry was, so to speak, hired to deal with the mice that could be found in the residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. But in addition to that, he is a cat that usually attends press conferences when they take place on the street. He even goes out and hangs out with the journalists for a while. He is also an influencer cat because he has more than 830,000 followers on Twitter and from here, from the Channel, we wish Larry a very, very long and happy life in Downing Street. And given how politics in the United Kingdom have been lately, it is very possible that this will not be the last Prime Minister that he meets. Mr. Chippy, the explorer Cat. Well, let's take a trip. The year is 1914, and the countries of the world are caught up in a spiral of seeing who can explore the most and obtain the most resources. Driven by this determination, there are countries that have set out to conquer the South Pole. In fact, in 1914, an attempt was made to cross Antarctica from one side to the other. There we have the Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition that ran from 1914 to 1917. And on board the ship Endurance, Ernest Sackleton was part of this expedition. This Irish explorer wanted to accomplish this feat in Antarctica because a Norwegian had reached the South Pole a couple of years earlier in 1911. He was R.O. amundsen. So he embarked on an expedition paid for by the government of the United Kingdom to accomplish this feat. What happened? In those days, ships had not only human crews, but also animal crews. There were rats that wanted to eat the food and to keep them away. Dogs and cats especially were also taken on board. And There we have Mr. Chippy, who was not Sockleton's feline companion, but a friend of his lent him to take on board the ship. The expedition was a bit tragic because while they were crossing the Arctic, the ship got stuck in the ice. The pressure of the ice caused the ship's hull to crack, leaving the explorers stranded in the middle of the ice. The explorers had to continue moving forward using the lifeboats they carried on the ship and traveled about 1,300 kilometers until they reached an island from which they were rescued. Unfortunately, Mr. Chippy was unable to complete his mission. There are several theories. According to the stories I have read online, it is known that both the sled dogs and poor Mr. Chippy died. It is not known if they were shot or for some other reason, or if perhaps they were used to feed the crew who were trapped in the ice. In any case, Mr. Chippy's feat of being the first cat to go to Antarctica was recognized by the Antarctic Society of New Zealand, which built him a monument, a bronze statue of a cat that can now be visited on the grave of his human companion, Harry Maccus, in Wellington, New Zealand. A story with a tragic ending. But at least they have recognized Mr. Chippy's feet. The second richest cat in the world. The cat I'm going to tell you about right now probably has more money than all of us watching this video put together. This cat's name is Olivia, and she's a beautiful Scottish fold whose human companion is Taylor Swift. And according to Billboard magazine, she's worth over $97 million. They calculated Olivia's net worth by looking at her social media metrics and also taking into account that she's quite the star, since she takes part in some of the singer's videos and also in other promotions and advertisements. And now I wonder how many cans could be bought with almost 97 million euros. Well, she probably doesn't need them because I'm convinced that Taylor Swift takes very good care of her. If you're wondering where Olivia's name comes from, it comes from the series Law and Order. It's a character that Taylor Swift seems to be a fan of. And now you're probably asking me, oh my goodness. If Taylor Swift's cat Olivia is the second richest cat in the world with $97 million, how much money does the richest cat in the world have to have? Well, I have an answer for that too. It's nala cat. This 12 year old cat is estimated to have a net worth of around $100 million and also holds a Guinness record from 2020 being the Cat with the most followers on Instagram, approximately 4.4 million. And if you're watching the video, your cat may be the third richest cat in the world. Leave me a comment and I'll give you my number. Send me a bism and I'll bring it to the channel.

Well, your cat may be very important to you, but these are super important because they've made history. Don't think you're the center of the world, of course, because these are more special because they've made history. Five cats that have made history, that have made history. Lake alike. Okay. Well, yes. Okay. A person who was later in charge of selling cats as pets. And I have the information that it was sold. I don't know what it is. Okay, okay. I don't know exactly where they told me. I mean, I have the image of the statue, but I haven't found where it's installed. I've looked everywhere and it was there for a few minutes without being earthling or cat. Like. I don't know how to say it. Okay, okay, okay. Well, it's called a donor. Yes, a donor. Because it wasn't really the mother. The mother was a mother who was a mother. The cat must have grown in some uterus, right? Oh, well, yes, of course. David Cameron is David Cameron, right? It is in the current prime minister who is. I can't remember his name. Rishi Sunak Suna. And the current prime minister, Rishi Sunak Suna. The cat I'm going to tell you about right now has more money than you and me. Quite a bit more. But the cat hasn't done anything heroic, damn it. Poor thing that went over there on the ship. Well, it's a story about a cat from history. He gave his life to save the crew. Well, he gave his life, okay. Or maybe this isn't Jesus Christ. Very tragic, of course, because we're also seeing things from over 100 years ago. What did you think of the stories, Jose? Were they entertaining? Didn't you feel good? No, eh. I'll finish with the story where he eats a cat.
