The Cat in Ancient Egypt | 
pickFrom genus called Proailurus 30 million years ago to Pseudaelurus 20 million years ago to Felis silvestris lybica, Africa wildcat to Felis catus
They likely tamed themselves to live with us by preventing mice & rats in our grain storage. There‘s no firm data they came to us visa Ancient Egypt but we do know they were prized, worshipped, mummified
But adore the art & images & worship Sekhmet & Bastet.
Is this not the least we can do for them?
