Egyptian cat (confirm introduction) < /p>
Research has found that cats originated in Egypt, and Egyptian cats are one of the original breeds of modern domestic cats. The body structure, growth and behavior of Egyptian cats are very different from other modern domestic cats. Egyptian cats have special habits. Egyptian cats are very sensitive to temperature and like warm places very much. They are very sensitive to drugs and anesthetics. And in ancient Egypt, Egyptian cats were also considered to be the incarnation of gods.
The ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats as domestic pets, and eventually cats became the objects of their religious worship. Around 2000 BC, the goddess Bastet was described as a woman with a cat's head and was worshiped as the god of fertility and healing. In the murals of ancient Egyptian temples along the Nile River, you can see the appearance of Egyptian cats before 1400 AD.
In later times, cats were considered not only to be incarnations of goddesses, but also to become gods themselves. Even the accidental killing of a cat was punishable by death. If a domestic cat dies unexpectedly, the entire family will shave off its eyebrows as a sign of mourning. Cat amulets are very popular. Even after cats die, reverence for them remains. One must also show respect for cats when burying them. At that time, the way to do this was to mummify them (people believed that mummies could resurrect the soul). In the summer of 1888, an Egyptian farmer dug up 300,000 cat mummies from more than 2,000 years ago in his field. However, this place was originally just one of the ancient Egyptian cat graveyards.
Nowadays, Egyptian cats have become a type of domestic cat. They look slender, but they are extremely prosperous. The hands and feet are well-proportioned and the body is coordinated. When standing, the hind limbs are high, the soles of the feet are slender and slightly oval, and the toes of the hind feet are long. The tail is medium in length and thin at the end. Completely speaking, the Egyptian cat now has a strong and physical figure.
