Im not sure i don't know if im right but i heard its Egypt.I believe they used it for killing mice.And im not sure but if im right please tell me.

Historians tended to think that ancient Egypt was the site of cat domestication because of the cats in the paintings about 3,600 years old. But in 2004, a Neolithic grave was excavated in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, that contained the skeletons, laid close to one another, of both a human and a cat. The grave is estimated to be 9,500 years old. The cat specimen is large and closely resembles the African wildcat, rather than house cats. The discovery, combined with genetic studies, suggest that cats were probably domesticated in the Near East, in the Fertile Crescent, around the time of the development of agriculture. Then they were brought to Cyprus and Egypt. Hope this helps.
