Going Catatonic!
My cat is meowing at me saying, “I love you, and take me with you wherever you go!” I have three cats, their names are Snickers, Susie, and Sadie. They are all playful and all have different personalities. They make me happy during this virus. They love to cuddle, sit on your laps, and eat treats. One of their favorite toys are sticks, as they will roll and pounce and chew their way to being happy. Playing with cats during quarantine makes me happy.

In early Egypt, approximately 2500 B.C., cats were idols and pets. If an Egyptian king had a cat, the cat would be mummified as well as the king. They would both be placed in the same tomb. If you ever killed a king’s cat, the person would be sentenced to death because it was against the law to kill a cat. Cats became domesticated in Europe in approximately 900 B.C. Cats have been around as pets for its owners for 12,000 years. However, it has been said that nobody owns a cat, the cat owns its owner.
