Cats are said to be first domesticated in Egypt thousands of years ago. Cats, though, did not originate in the country. The ancestors of cats were first.

Are cats from Scotland?

Domestic cats descend from African wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica). They were first domesticated around 9,000–10,000 years ago in the Middle East (Fertile Crescent), where early farming communities existed. So the true origin of cats is: ➡️ Middle East / North Africa, not Europe. So why do people associate cats with Scotland? Because of one very popular breed: 🐾 The Scottish Fold • Originated in Scotland in the 1960s • Known for its folded ears • The first Scottish Fold was a farm cat named Susie • The ear fold is due to a natural genetic mutation ⚠️ Important note: Scottish Folds are a breed, not the origin of all cats. Cats in Scotland historically • Cats reached Scotland through trade routes and Roman influence • They were valued for pest control • Over time, cats became common household companions across Europe In simple words • 🌍 Cats originated: Middle East / North Africa • 🇬🇧 Cats in Scotland: Arrived later • 🐱 Scottish Fold: A cat breed developed in Scotland Fun fact Cats didn’t spread because humans forced them to— they followed food, warmth, and com fort 😌 if u want furthur info click this:pawjoypk/com
