Description

Domestic cats have been a part of civilization for nearly five thousand years. In the days of Ancient Egypt, as slaves toiled about the pyramids, cats held a place of honor. The Greeks used cats to control rodents and began to steal them from the Egyptians; it became a capital crime to steal a cat. As Romans overran the Kingdom of Egypt, the cats of a dying civilization became the spoils of war. By sea, by land, or carried by wagon or cart, the cat made its way into the hearts of nearly every civilization on earth. In America, cats made their appearance in the 1700s, wending their way into the hearts and homes of our founding fathers. Today, cats are among the world's favorite pets, and are lavished with affection in many a home.
