of course the earliest recorded pet was a cat 🙂‍↕️

The fact that the first official domesticated cat is the Egyptian Mau. They named it “Mau” because that’s what they say 😂 Meow!

Jennifer 🖤🌿 :

that's my cats name sweetie 💕

Now this is a great post. The cat belonged to Puyemre, who served as the second priest of Amun during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. Nedjem is famously cited by Guinness World Records as the earliest known cat to bear an individual name. This is depicted in a relief found within Puyemre's tomb.

There was a dog named Abuwtiyuw from the Old Kingdom, but the details are clearer for the kitty.

To be clear, the cat was not the pet... the cat is in charge. the cat is and was, always in charge.

it's so odd to me that a cute story can be posted and someone always has to be rude! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the story. I don't think it's fake news. I love seeing all the kitties pics.
