Our friend, the cat

The cat, from the Carnivora order, is an outstanding meat eater. They are excellently designed for capturing and killing live prey. Cats are intelligent, alert and powerfully muscled. They are known to be quite finicky having an “air of sophistication” about them and are independent.

The domesticated cat (Felis domesticus) was first domesticated in ancient Kemet, Egypt. They were essential in keeping the Egyptian storehouses free of pesky rodents. The Egyptians also worshipped a cat-headed deity called Sekhmet, also worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans . . .
