About 5000 years ago (recent studies say about 100,000 years ago, but who 's that counts) – and hungry – an African wild cat astute somewhere (what was then) in Egypt has made a higher intelligent . "These unknown and mysterious bipeds seem to be very affectionate of grain," he thought. "The Biped collects lots of grain and keeps them in big baskets. Large baskets of wheat attract lots of yummy mouse! Doesn 'Biped, the t seems like the mouse in its grain! I think I 'll take on one of these bipeds unknown and lives in his house and the EAT FOR ITS MOUSE! "And so a mutually favorable relationship between cats and cunning African bipeds Egyptian unknown has begun! And history was made. Life in Egypt was good and cats Africans have enjoyed their recent discovery coexistence with humans, the Egyptians have gradetto cats, cat AMATI Pharaoh and there were around, but still plenty of food … So after living the good Life in Egypt for about a thousand years or so, cats – being curious animals! – Began to ask: "What is out of this country. We lack that out on something? "A cat has been thinking:" I would sit outside a temple with a leg up, calling people to enter the holy place. That would be accurate! My skills and talents fully measure the description "of work. The cat has said this to a Mediterranean merchant, who was in Egypt on a business trip and the merchant said: "I know of this place. I 'll on the take there. " And the merchant has brought the cat in Japan, where the cat has found a temple of attractive five-story pagoda with a beautiful garden. The cat was placed outside the temple and has lifted his leg to a land to call the friendly passersby to enter the temple, since that was now his job! On the Japanese people had not ever seen something, but they gradetto what they saw and they said: "This little animal has an air of mystery about him saint, this animal will bring us luck! Name this Maneki Neko animal and do lots of little figurines of Maneki Neko porcelain that sell to tourists and make lots of money! … In about 4000 years. "A couple of elderly cats were so tired of the heat and drought in Africa without end and said another trader of access (to town to buy small replica of the pyramid for its new store in London ), What we wanted to go to a colder climate and more wet. The trader, of course, has brought back to England. The Englishman who is … well, English, said: "I say! What small creatures positively beautiful. The take in, and fueling the farm and have the CAT SHOWS magnificent! "The whole thing of cat exposure came much later of course (in 1871 to be precise), but believes the idea was born the second of the first places it or eyes (of English could probably was a … EnglishWOMAN) on those cats. But England wasn 't the only European country where the Egyptian cats have adjusted the leg. Around 2000 B.C. cats in Egypt have begun a marketing campaign around the world very successfully, promoting their exceptional hunting skills of rat and mouse. And it paid off! Soon the cats were invitandi every country in Europe, Middle East and Asia, where they lived well and in harmony with human bipeds for many, many years. But on the other hand, something happened: ENTER THE DARK AGES! … In the history of cats. Right after the conclusion of the Middle Ages – started around 1550 and last for about a century – the Christian church has decided that cats were the source of all evil. The cats were always associated with the; raffia was in Egypt, the goddess of life and family and in northern Europe was Freya, who was always surrounded by cats. But these were not Christians, so that cats are now processed in "animal grata" not;. That was probably when "of that, curiosity killed the cat" has entered the English vocabulary, "They wanted to see the world and appear where they were obtained! "Yes, curiosity has killed many cats during these terrible times. The cats were searched down, were burned, drowned and been hung. And the people who had the audacity to so much as look kindly to a cat, was considered witches. And was also killed. This was not a good time to be a "lady" crazy cat; in Europe! During this time cats were also incolpandi of the spread of the plate, when in fact it was the bearer that rats are able to kill off nearly half the human population European spreading the pests and other epidemics. And since human beings had been killed so efficiently out most of their cats, there were practically have gone to kill the rats! That 'll teach them the deal so disrespectful to cats! But finally things have been better. The Europeans have come to their senses and have long lost realize that cats were really good to have around! Less rats, plague more and soon the old cat-human relationship so beautiful and harmonious made its return. And when the first European settlers came to America in 1600 something, brought cats with them to NEW WORLD. Good thinking! Their cats have kept their homes, farms, henhouses, outhouses and doghouses rat and mouse free. Well, maybe not doghouses! Yes, the true human bipeds have rediscovered the value of cats. They took even the cats in their homes and in this time in their hearts as well. The cat has turned into more of a small Mousetrap useful, it has turned into a PET.And to cats – being cats – now they have begun to demand their territory Interior; layer, the best chair of arm, the dining table, the base, the drawer of linen … in short: The WHOLE HOUSE. And finally, things were as they should be among the cat and man.5000 years ago, the Egyptians adored cats and indicated their admiration and respect mummifying after death and describing it on vases, on amulets, and rings on the tombs of the inside! Today we give tribute to the cats by putting pictures of cats on cups of coffee, on napkins, pillows on the sofa, on Mousepads, on watches, on refrigerator magnets and T-shirts! And over ten hundred years from now, I 'm the sure there will be a huge of a cat on our first spaceship to Mars.
