Cats History.


Wow!! So there is a story about the cat.
Lets  go back to the 3000 B.C In Ancient Egyptian. The first known cat to the world is the African Wild cat (Felis Sylvestris Lybica). The egyptian was known with their crops such as wheat, paddy and others cereal. This attracts the rodents such as mouse and rat take the advantage to feed on their grain storage. The situation attracts the African Wild Cat as predator that feeds on this rodents. The egyptian make this cat as a sacred animal. Their Gods was link to the cats and the cats have the higher position in the egyptian pyramid society. They also told that  if they found injured cat at the streets  they refuse to help because afraid to be accuse of the injured cat.

The studies in South Africa shows that they are unable to distinguish the DNA of the domestic cat and the African Wild Cat. This shows that the origin of the cat was started from the Ancient Egyptian.

This is kind of funny story but it is reality. The archaeologist has found the evidence from the ancient illustration by the Ancient Egyptian. >< ^^ :)
