    Shows you the relationships we had with dogs as compared to cats … I don’t see any ancient Egyptians with any memorable epitaphs for their cats

      Funny enough, there are very few Roman accounts of cats, period - they’re clearly known and around, but the Romans apparently were not incredibly fond of them except as mousers. And to be honest, I sympathize. XD

      I know the Egyptians sometimes mummified their cats.
