The Back Story:
Short Haired Cats-2
Today, cats are the most popular pet in the world, and are now found in almost every place where humans live. As a revered animal to ancient Egyptian society and religion, it’s commonly believed to have been domesticated there, but there may have been other instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic period around 9500 years ago (7500 BC).
African wildcats are the ancestors of the domestic cat that were first domesticated in and around the Middle East region during this time.
