The history of the world according to cats - Eva-Maria Geigl

In ancient times, wildcats were fierce carnivorous hunters. And unlike dogs, who have undergone centuries of selective breeding, modern cats are genetically very similar to ancient cats. How did these solitary, fierce predators become our sofa sidekicks? Eva-Maria Geigl traces the domestication of the modern house cat.

    And to be fair, we don't give them a choice in the matter. We often steal them from their mothers when they're too young to know any better, then refuse to let them leave. It's half their fault, though. We humans don't care to keep things we don't find cute. If cats were just less cute, we'd stop stealing them. xD

    The most amazing part about cats is that humans are literally the only other species that they fully acknowledge and communicate with. Cats speak to us. They look us in the eye. They speak to no other species except for the occasional bird and mouse chatter or meowing at a familiar dog, and hissing at strangers. The friendly chatter and meow, meowing back at us while looking at us, everything that we hear from our cats is directed solely at us, no one else. Not to the other cats, not to the dog, but only for us, and that’s pretty amazing if you think about it.

    True. I have a very talkative cat. He often meows for no discernible reason. If I meow at him, he'll meow back at me and we can have some sort of conversation. However, he doesn't meow at my other cat or my dog. He's either meowing at nothing or at me/my bf. By contrast, my dog barks at us, other dogs, the cats, squirrels, etc.

    the thing about a bond with a cat is it’s a friendship. you both occupy the same space and you need to learn to accommodate each other. conversation is just a natural part of that kind of relationship. they’re pretty intelligent creatures, my cat recognises my specific car engine and comes running up the street along side me every time i come home, just to be met with frantic meowing when i get out. it’s a very unique bond because one never fully understands the other but through time you come to an understanding

    I had a cat who lived to be 18 years old. She was incredibly loving and affectionate. She liked all people so long as they had hands and laps. She talked to me constantly and slept next to my pillow every night. When I was sad, she refused to leave me and would crawl up to my face and purr until I felt better. She was basically the nicest person I knew. She died in my arms when I was 7 months pregnant with my first baby. She was a good cat, and lived a good life. She took good care of me until she knew I would be ok with a baby to replace her. I am glad all cats are not like her, because then she wouldn’t have been as special as she was. RIP Willow.

    Cats have gone thousands of years of selective breeding too. Funnily enough, if we look at the sociability of an animal without long periods of selection as a measure of perfection, then rats would rank at the top as pets. Just over a century of selective breeding and they're the most sociable pets around. Most of that breeding wasn't actually focused on sociability either.

    My grandfather was a merchant sea captain. He wrote many letters to my grandmother during the 1930s, while he was at port in England, Europe and South America, until February 1942 when his ship was torpedoed by Nazis off the New Jersey coast and he was killed along with his crew. My father, his son, was only 4 years old when his dad died. One letter, particularly, is lovely to read. He writes about discovering a cat onboard his ship after departing from Venezuela. He took that as a sign of "good luck" and enjoyed the cat's company in his own cabin. I love cats, too. No idea what became of that kitty. I do know that the captain of the ship which discovered my grandfather's lifeboat after his own ship had been shelled to the bottom ascertained that 2 men out of approximately 20 total crewmen survived, after rescue, for a short time. All others had frozen to death in lifeboats, including my grandfather. His body was set adrift in the Atlantic to be claimed by the waves. I still hope that kitty made it, somehow. Sigh.

    Another fun fact: cats will naturally form colonies with sisters and their offspring, communally sharing their kills and taking care of each other's kits. So, the reason your cat brings back excess kills is that they see you as part of their family-either as a sibling or parent-and want to feed you and take care of you.

    I just lost my cat to a coyote Saturday morning. I always let her out at 5 am and she's back in by 7am. She always comes like a dog when you called her. At about 530 am my other cat that refuses to step outside started screaming in my window. She never makes any noise. By they time I realized what was happening it was to late. She brought me 12 years of absolute joy and happiness. Most vocal and friendly cat I've ever owned. A true one of a kind.

    An Egyptian prince, I believe he was Thutmose II, had a cat that he loved dearly. He apparently gave her the name Ta-miut; from what we can decipher of the ancient Egyptian language, "ta" denotes a feminine noun and "miut" is a sort of onomatopoeic word for cat. So he essentially named her Miss Kitty. And when she died, the prince entombed Miss Kitty in her own sarcophagus, complete with a relief carved on the side depicting her seated in front of a table loaded with food offerings.

    @dschehutinefer5627

    Slight correction: Miu means cat in Egyptian and you make a noun feminine by adding a 't', so Miut in itself already means 'Female cat'. The "Ta" in the name I'm not really sure about. I have seen the suggestion it's just an article, but my book says there aren't any indistinct ones in the Egyptian language. It certainly isn't the word 'country', which is also read 'Ta', because the letters used on the cat's sarcophagus are different. Also the prince's name was just Thutmose, no number, because he died young and his brother Akhenaten took over (and we all know how crazy that went). What you probably also had in mind was Pharaoh Thutmose III who lived 1480 BC and whose cat "Nedjem" ("Sweet", or more fittingly, "Sweety") is the oldest named cat we know of.

There was one other part of her theory she proved correct but I don't remember all of it as it was many years ago. We got the lybica and he was awesome. Ferocious with prey and strange dogs, cuddle bum with everyone else. Used to love to give nose kisses to family, and would let my husband drape him around his neck when he came home from work. Awesome cat. I'll never forget him.

    Once in my lifetime there was a neighborhood cat. He's always avoiding people. One night, he took a shelter under my room window when raining. I opened the window, and offered some foods. He hesitated. So I left my window open with the foods. Next morning, the foods were gone. But the night, he came again, waiting for the foods. I gave him again. Since then, he always showed up every time I came home at night. Jumped out to the window, and entering my room, sleeping, and woke me up on the morning. Sadly, it just happened for a year and half. I never seen him again. I never had chance to adopt him because of everyday work. But that's beauty of it. I feel being loved because we cared eachother even though there's no a contract between us.

    I have Asperger's ,and I have discovered that all cats are Aspies.They are social when they feel like it,and when they don't,you'd better leave them alone.Just like me!😁Maybe that's why ever since I was nine years old,I've always had at least one cat.Sometimes two or three.
