Read the passage below and then answer questions 6 to 9.

Human beings have always kept animals for different purposes. Animals can be kept as pets. A pet is an animal kept for pleasure. We keep pets because we love their company. We play with them. They are just like our friends, so we keep them happy and comfortable. Indeed, the dog, which is a common pet, has been said to be man's best friend.

Animals can also be kept to help human beings do certain tasks. This is because they have special abilities which human beings do not have. For example, donkeys have strength to carry heavy luggage. They can therefore help us in transportation.

Some animals are kept as source of food. Animal products such as milk and eggs are a rich source of nutrients. It is important to realise that whether we keep animals as pets, to help in work, or for food, they deserve kind treatment.

6. Why do we keep pets?

On the third day, Mokowi was still telling the story. "Another one went in, ate and came out. Then, another one went in, ate and came out..."

             Njiani, alikutana na Pundamilia na Ngiri. Aliwasaili kuhusu walikokuwa wakitoka wakati ule. Pundamilia alimjibu, "Tumetoka kupanda miti upande wa mashariki wa msitu huu. Tumegundua kuwa binadamu ameikata miti mingi sana. Hali hii akiendelea kutatokea kiangazi.” Kobe aliwashukuru na kuwapongeza wenzake kwa uamuzi wao wa busara. Kisha akasema, “Hakika mtego wa panya huingia waliokuwemo na wasiokuwemo. Ni muhimu tuzuje hatari ya ukosefu wa mvua kwa kupanda miti. Nitaenda huko kesho nitimize wajibu wangu."
             Baada ya hapo, wanyama wale walipungiana mikono, Kobe akajiendea zake. Akilini aliwaza, "kwa nini binadamu hatumii akili yake razini? Tamaa hii ya kukata miti kwa kutaka utajiri wa haraka, si itamwangamiza? Isitoshe, juzi nilipopita karibu na kijiji chao, niliona wamerundika taka kila mahali. Hakika wasipoubadili mkondo huo watajuta baada ya kuathirika.”

             The are many species of wild cats ranging in size. Some of the wild cats are leopard, lions and tigers. Which of these did our domestic cats come from? Cats are more difficult to tame than other members of the dog family like wolf cubs or jackal cubs.
             Like people, wolves, jackals and dogs live and work together naturally in packs. They are social animals. Cats are not at all like this. As wild animals, they live and hunt alone. They are naturally unsociable animals. This makes them difficult to tame. Even the kittens of domestic cats, if born in a different corner of the garden, can be difficult to tame unless brought into the house very young.
             If you have both a cat and a dog in your house, you will notice the difference in their characters. The dog wants to take part in everything that is going on as a full member of the family. He sometimes barks at strangers to keep them away and has a much sense of responsibility to the house and family. But your cat simply lives with you because it suits him and takes no real part in things. Nobody ever heard of a cat yowling at a stranger or bitter at a burglar.

12. According to the passage, why do cats  live with people?
    1. Because they were tamed.
