They naturally crave the sensation of sinking their nails into the surfaces they encounter and, according to the ASPCA, this behavior psychologically helps cats mark their territory. Physically it allows them to stretch, play, and keep their claws manicured. They instinctually use their sharp paw extensions as tools to climb, hunt, and hold down their prey. But if you have a cat in your home, you'll soon realize that your furniture is the target for a lot of this fierce feline behavior. A scratching post is a furniture-saving piece that should be readily available in any home with a cat to help redirect their urge to scratch. Hornblower, G. D. (1943).

The ancient Egyptians believed that their gods could assume different forms, and over the centuries, it became increasingly common for gods to take the form of animals, including cats.

PLEASE NOTE: Even the sturdiest dog toys are not indestructible, and small bits could be torn off. We recommend buying your dog the right toy, inspecting it regularly and not leaving it with your dog unattended. In the event of damage occuring, the toy should be replaced immediately.In the deep south of the desert, unrest is brewing... The cities of the Menaphites have barred their gates to all. An unsettling desert wanderer may know of a secret entrance though, to Sophanem - the city of the dead. Long after the end of Egypt's own pyramid-building period, a burst of pyramid-building occurred in what is present-day Sudan, after much of Egypt came under the rule of the Kingdom of Kush, which was then based at Napata. Napatan rule, known as the 25th Dynasty, lasted from 750 BCE to 664 BCE. The Meroitic period of Kushite history, when the kingdom was centered on Meroë, (approximately in the period between 300 BCE and 300 CE), experienced a full-blown pyramid-building revival, which saw about 180 Egyptian-inspired indigenous royal pyramid-tombs constructed in the vicinity of the kingdom's capital cities.

These gods could not just appear with the head of a cat, for example, but could also inhabit the bodies of cats,”Skidmoreexplains. “That’s why cats were mummified, and a whole economy around breeding and mummifying cats was created in ancient Egypt.” In fact, the killing of cats was forbidden in ancient Egypt with one exception: mummification. Then there are folks that say, “but we have Return-to-Field or Shelter-Neuter-Return.” These programs were created with the intent of returning unowned cats to the community. These are not programs that should return owned cats. Unless the scenario goes something like this: When families can’t access spay/neuter on their own, they become irritated by their cat’s behavior and call the shelter. Since the shelter isn’t taking in cats, families–frustrated and without options–let their unspayed or unneutered cat(s) out. They keep feeding them, but eventually, their cat gets trapped by some community member. The cat looks good (because they are, in fact, owned) and is (finally, after roaming and reproducing) spayed/neutered as part of a TNR program. In 2013, papyri, named Diary of Merer, were discovered at an ancient Egyptian harbor at the Red Sea coast. They are logbooks written over 4,500 years ago by an official with the title inspector, who documented the transport of white limestone from the Tura quarries, along the Nile River, to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu.

London: Hakluyt Society. pp.113−119. Cats can be the most loyal and loving companions. But just like any pet, they require their own special care.Cats were praised for killing venomous snakes and protecting the Pharaoh since at least the First Dynasty of Egypt. Skeletal remains of cats were found among funerary goods dating to the 12th Dynasty. The protective function of cats is indicated in the Book of the Dead, where a cat represents Ra and the benefits of the sun for life on Earth. Cat-shaped decorations used during the New Kingdom of Egypt indicate that the cat cult became more popular in daily life. Cats were depicted in association with the name of Bastet. [4] What is the greatest challenge in the community for cats? The numbers. The most important thing that we can do for cats in our communities is to get them spay/neutered. Let’s look at the work we are doing strategically and really see if we are achieving that goal. Rather than punish your cat for being a cat, why not explore some ways to engage your cat’s natural habits? Stille, Alexander.
