Present in the life of man from the earliest times, the cat has always fascinated with its elegance, its agility, and its aura of mystery. Throughout history, various roles have been attributed to them. Depicted as a deity in ancient Egypt, it quickly lost, with the decline of the Egyptian civilization, all the privileges from which it had benefited.
The Egyptians had imported the cat from Ethiopia, and from the 1st century CE, it spread throughout the Mediterranean Basin thanks to traders and merchants. They were the privileged guests of vessels, which were preparing to cross the seas to unknown destinations; the cats prevented the vessels from becoming rat-infested, endangering the success of the expedition. Thanks precisely to these voyages, cats spread throughout the world.
