Even though they are not as famous as dogs, cats are just as cute!
In case you missed it or didn’t know, the world celebrated International Cat Day last August 8. Throughout history, cats have been prominent and yes, they were even worshiped in Egypt as gods.
For the cat lovers (and okay, even for the haters), cats are awesome animals for their admirable traits. As compared to dogs, cats are arguably more independent. And ever heard of the proverb, “Curiosity killed the cat?” It may not have a good connotation but cats are known to be very curious which is why you’d see them trying out adventures and being naturally inquisitive. And did you know that most of the time they can actually heal themselves?
So the first record of these cute, amazing beings was during the Egyptian Civilization. If you’ve been paying close attention to details, Egyptians love cats. The first known cat deity, according to NationalToday.com, is Mafdet who was considered the protector against snakes, scorpions and evil.
Cats were also used by the Greeks and Romans to control their pests and in the Eastern areas, cats were owned by the rich. They became linked, however, to bad luck during the Black Death of 1348. Many cats were killed at that time.
Cats regained their good reputation when they were used on American colonization ships to help control vermin and disease. Today, there are about half a million cats across the world. The International Fund for Animal Welfare was so right when it declared August 8 as International Cat Day since 2002.
