Background Info On Pet Cats

A lot of cats live in my girl friend's house. It has become a safe haven for them. My friend had no problem with it since she is so into them. The foreign ones that she has, she reproduces them. Now, there are almost twelve cats that are staying with her in her home. Like a little house small enough for cats to stay in, she made it with the ramps, windows, and covered porches. There are also runways for cats and rooms using little shelves. If cats have beauty products, she had those as well. The cats also have their own sleeping tunnels and beds, only miniature though. It was like a cat revolution, the film she sent me with. It started with only two cats, the one causing the trouble over the one who was supposedly resting or sleeping.

They say that cats originally came from an extinct species, Miacas that goes 50 millenniums way back and so are the raccoons, dogs and bears. These animals are similar to a weasel that has five claws that can be pulled back in.

Egyptians cherished their wildcats. They even train them as pets during 3500 B.C. Commended for their skills in hunting, the Egyptians celebrated their existence through works of art. They also think that the eyes of the cat contained the sunlight. Cats were considered so sacred, it was a practice about 1500 B.C, that if anyone killed a cat, they were put to death. If a dearly loved cat died, its pet owner expressed their sorrow by having their eyebrows shaved and the cat mummified.

Cats were transported by Phoenician and Greek traders to Europe and Asia by 1000 B.C. They continued to be revered for their hunting ability and skill in controlling the rodent population.

It was in Europe where the original cat show was held, during 1871 in London, England. By 1887, the first cat association was instituted. And the rest is history for cat fanciers everywhere.

On one occasion, I had to do a job as my mother was left in the house with some ailment. My mom had a friend who said she could keep my mother company so that I could go where I needed to go. During that time, my mom and her friend Lucy were both in their late sixties. When I got home, mother was asleep on one couch and her friend, Lucy, on the other. Lucy was in deep sleep that she wasn't awoken by mom's cat settling on her chest. The cat was staring at her mouth and nose, even observing her snores. I guess she was wondering what this new purring creature was that fascinated her so. The cat also went up and down as Lucy's chest went up and down when she breathed. It was such a funny and memorable moment that I had to wake my mother up so she could see it. When Lucy's eyes popped open, she was staring straight into the eyes of an inquisitive feline face. Arising from a deep slumber, she thought she was hallucinating until she noticed that mom and I were laughing our hearts out. That nap always reminded them of the most heartwarming experience they had and they continued to talk about it even when they became older.

Our feline friends have given us hours of affection and quiet moments with a feeling of satisfaction. Their inquisitive behavior has given us many reasons to laugh and amuse ourselves. The cats also get the best love and health care that they deserve. Moreover, you can even include items that will keep them entertained and sleep and play areas that are relaxing for them to settle in. Mwow!
