Early human societies, particularly in Egypt, began to see the benefits of keeping cats around to control vermin and protect food stores. Cats were revered in ancient Egypt, often depicted in art and mythology. The famous Egyptian Mau breed is believed to be one of the earliest domesticated cats, with their distinct spotted coats and elegant stature.
