Today I've decided that the badger post was so fun I'll do a WHOLE animal special spotlight! You vote in the comments for the best animal!
And our first contender is.....a cat. YEEEESSSS!!!
The main difference between us cats and dogs are that dogs were domesticated. WE domesticated ourselves. In ancient Egypt, we came to the Egyptians and hunted near their grain bins and ate all the mice we wanted. The Egyptians were flattered by this, as before the mice were eating all the grain. Then, the grateful Egyptians started leaving out fishes and other tasty treats as to say 'thanks'. We, taking this gesture as friendly, went to the Egyptians and started living with them. The Egyptians took this as a sign from the gods and made the cat a goddess, the goddess Bastet.
