Descrição: It is generally accepted that cats were first domesticated in ancient Egypt at the latest by the 20th to 19th century B.C. However, similar finds from Cyprus suggest that origins of cat taming were earlier. A cat mandible at the early Neolithic site of Khirokitia, Cyprus, and more recently, from several other sites, show that cats were present on the island starting from approximately 9500 years ago.
