While it is commonly thought that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats, the oldest known pet cat was recently found in a 9,500-year-old grave on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. This grave predates early Egyptian art depicting cats by 4,000 years or more.
Wow. Really? I haven't heard about that. That is absolutely amazing.
The cat appears to be the only domestic companion animal not mentioned in the Bible.
What happened?
The Egyptian Mau is probably the oldest breed of cat. In fact, the breed is so ancient that its name is the Egyptian word for “cat.”
Okay. Thanks for your information about cats.
In ancient Egypt, when a family cat died, all family members would shave their eyebrows as a sign of mourning.
