Tailed friends 🐈
The domestication of cats began about 10 thousand years ago in the Middle East. It began due to the fact that people started the transition from gathering and nomadic lifestyle to settled agriculture 🌾 Cats were indispensable assistants in the fight against rodents that destroyed grain and food supplies! Later, cats began to work at sea, protecting ships from rats - thus they allowed marine trade to develop successfully and humanity was able to begin to explore new lands ⚓️
Contrary to popular belief, the Ancient Egyptians were not the first to domesticate cats, but they were the ones who bred those cute and pleasant cats that we are accustomed to 🐱 After the conquest of Egypt by the Roman Empire, Egyptian cats spread throughout Europe up to Britain, Iceland and the Slavic principalities 🤯
At the beginning of the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX issued a bull stating that cats are the Devil's accomplices and must be destroyed 😵💫 In Europe, real persecution of cats begins: they are naturally executed along with "witches". According to some researchers, it was precisely this sharp decline in the cat population that could have caused the Black Death that struck Europe in the 14th century...
Gradually, the reputation of professional rodent fighters returned to cats, but Europeans began to keep them as pets only in the 19th century, on the wave of Egyptomania, as a result of which companion cats began to become popular throughout Europe 🐈
Now the cat has become a familiar home friend and keeper of comfort for us, but humanity is still trying to answer the question: did we tame them or did they tame us? 😸
