The Ancient Cat


©2001 - 2003 Judith Stock


"A cat is a cat is a cat," wrote e.e. cummings. And history would seem to agree with this distinguished poet. According to earliest records, the first sign of domestication of the cat dates back 8,000 years ago where bones of cats, mice, and humans were found buried together on the island of Cyprus. Apparently our early relatives brought both the cats and the mice to Cyprus with them—the cats on purpose, the mice perhaps as stowaways.
