INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY :-
The 8th of August is International Cat Day, a day to honor one of man’s most popular and long-standing pets. They were even revered as gods (looking at you, Egypt). Cats are among the greatest creatures on the earth because they are independent, intrepid, curious, have an incredible physiognomy, and have the ability to repair themselves—at least most of the time.
HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY :-
Cats are mostly carnivorous little furry creatures with four legs, a tail, and claws that people have domesticated as pets since the beginning of time, despite the fact that they originally hunted vermin and are descended from the African Wildcat.
Ancient Egyptian civilization contains the earliest known mention of cats in human history. Because the Egyptians revered and regarded cats as gods, we all appear to associate cats with the ancient Egyptians. During the First Dynasty, Mafdet—the first recorded cat deity—was revered as a protection against snakes, scorpions, and evil. For them, cats were thus more than just deities—they were also guardians.
Cats were transported to America as part of the colonization ships’ cargo in order to reduce disease and vermin, and as a result, those cats thrived once they arrived. Currently, cats appear to be one of the cultural icons of our time. There are about 500 million cats worldwide.
