When did cats first become pets?
Cats first became pets 9000 years ago in the Middle East, when humans began farming. The grain stores attracted rats, which in turn attracted cats! Over time cats started to become domesticated, beginning with the ancient Egyptians, where cats were revered. Cats feature strongly in Egyptian art and killing a cat in those days could be punishable by death. In some cases, cats were even mummified and then buried with their owners, so that they could accompany them in the afterlife.
