    Cat History - the domestic cat through the ages.


    Cat history, it is generally believed, can be traced back to the Miacis, a weasel like creature that inhabited the earth some 40 or so million years ago.


    Not only the history of the cat, but the history of all land dwelling carnivores can be traced back to the Miacis, and that includes dogs!


    The best known of the cats of pre-history, is the saber toothed tiger (Smilodon).


    These large, fearsome, members of the cat family roamed, and hunted, much of the ancient world before finally hunting their prey, and therefore themselves, to extinction.


    By the close of the Stone Age cats had learned that where humans were found, there was the easy prey of rodents, this was still too early in time for them to be considered domestic pets.


    A cat's jawbone that has been dated to 6000 BC was uncovered on the island of Cyprus, and as cats are not indigenous to the island, it points to cats arriving on the island along with the first human colonists.


    It was the descendants of the African wildcat that took the history of the cat into domestication.
