Who were the first people to keep cats as pets?
|
|
The first people to keep cats were probably the ancient Egyptians, over 3,000 years ago. Cats caught the mice, rats, and other vermin that raided the grain supplies. The cats were well cared for and became pets. In the end, they were worshipped as part of the Egyptian religion. Anyone who killed a cat would be sentenced to death. Some dead cats were even turned into mummies.
