People have loved cats and lived with them for as long as 9,500 years. The Egyptians were fascinated by cats and treated them like royalty. Egyptians domesticated are feline friends in 2000 B.C. The cats helped to hunt poisonous snakes, rats and mice. Soon the Egyptians started feeding cats to keep them around their homes, and eventually began to breed them in their homes, bringing the domestic cat. They enjoyed the company of their new playful pets. Egyptians loved their cats so much that they worshiped them. They would adorn their bodies with gold cat earrings and necklaces.
