Just saw a NOVA presentation about cats last night and was disturbed to learn that, while the Egyptians revered the cats and associated them with gods, they also sacrificed them, by the thousands. They was major breeding going on in order to provide cats for sacrifice.

On the up side, all that breeding provided much of the variation in cats we see today. For instance the ginger color first arose from Egyptian cats.

The domestication of cats in ancient Egypt is one of the great unlikely events in human history. People knew from the beginning it was the shiznit.
