Cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt, hunted in medieval Europe, and today rule the internet. Their journey alongside humans is one of the most remarkable partnerships in history.
Cats domesticated themselves — they chose us as much as we chose them.
Ancient origins
Archaeological evidence shows cats began living near human settlements in the Fertile Crescent around 9,500 years ago, attracted by rodents in grain stores.
Egyptian reverence
In ancient Egypt, cats were sacred. Killing a cat was punishable by death. The goddess Bastet was depicted with a cat's head.
Spread across the world
Roman soldiers carried cats on ships to control vermin. By the Middle Ages, cats had reached every continent except Antarctica.
Final Thoughts
Today over 600 million cats share our homes — continuing a bond that began in the dawn of agriculture.
