A cats long colorful history!! July 9, 2008

Melissa,did you know that South Americans were first introduced to the damestic cat by Spanish Explorers dureing the 16th century.The Aztecs affectionly referred to the cat as mizton,or “little lion”because of its close resemblance to the indigenous mountain lion!! Also it was worshiped by the Egyptians,Vikings, Thais,Bermese,and the Japanese, but the Egyptians worshiped it the most.In the anciant years whoever did not worship the cat would be severly Punished,and when a cat died the family would mourn for a whole year!!I thought you would like this information because you like Cats!!
