Cats appear in Egyptian paintings and sculptures from 3,000 BC. They were used to chase mice in grain stores and were worshipped by people. Anyone who killed a cat was severely punished, and cats became so respected that when they died their bodies were often preserved as mummies and buried with their owners.
早在公元前3千年時貓就已經出現在了古埃及的油畫和雕塑中。貓最早被用來在糧倉裏抓老鼠，而且人們對貓無比崇敬。任何一個殺死貓的人都會受到嚴厲的懲罰，有些人甚至還會給貓的死屍進行防腐處理、製成木乃伊，從而使其陪同自己的主人下葬。
