Cats in Ancient Egypt Paragraph 1 Cats played an important role in Ancient Egypt. From protectors of their grain, to pets, cats' influence on Egyptian life was unmistakable. The popularity of Egyptian cats is reflected in the many Ancient Egyptian paintings and carved stone statues in which they appear. Paragraph 2 Cats and Egypt share a long and interesting history. Many cat experts believe that Ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats. At first, it was a practical matter as cats were brought in to protect granaries and homes from pests like rats and cockroaches. Eventually though, Ancient Egyptians - especially the wealthy - started to adopt cats as pets. Paragraph 3 Paintings on tombs and other buildings show spotted, slender cats, which are believed to be the first domestic cats. It is believed that these early Egyptian cats were the ancestors of the Egyptian Mau. This breed is not as well known as other cat breeds Paragraph4 Whoever killed a cat in Ancient Egypt was put to death. Amazingly there were also laws banning the exportation of cats. Paragraph 5 Ancient Egyptians loved cats and went into mourning whenever any of the family cats died. Cats were even mummified after death. Cat cemeteries have been discovered along the River Nile and cat mummies can be found in the tombs of many Egyptians. Page 1
