Cats have been on Earth a very long time, though it's a bit uncertain just when they began to evolve. It appears that the earliest cats were alive about 40 million years ago. These primitive cats evolved into the cats we are familiar with today.

they have been around since lord Jesus Christ made them.So, many years. OR, if you'd rather believe in science than mythology, animal life has existed on this planet for around a billion and a half years, depending on your definition of "animal". Single celled lifeforms appeared long ago in the history of the earth.

Longer than people have been here, so we do not know exactly. Estimates are about 670 million years ago for the first animals.
