More About Cats
Cats descend from an African feline species from ancient times. The famous cat mummies of ancient Egypt make it evident that people had domesticated cats thousands of years ago, and from there we have our various cat breeds. As an animal original to the desert, cats are adept at surviving on little water and scarce food, namely other animals. This carnivore has been the perfect pest control resource for ancient Egyptians, the ancient Greeks and Romans, medieval Europeans, and the passengers of the Mayflower itself. Ancient Egypt worshiped cats, but today, they are primarily our companions.
