Oldest Known Pet Cat? 9,500-Year-Old Burial Found on Cyprus

Oldest Known Pet Cat? 9,500-Year-Old Burial Found on Cyprus
The carefully interred remains of a human and a cat were found buried with seashells, polished stones, and other decorative artifacts in a 9,500-year-old grave site on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. This new find, from the Neolithic village of Shillourokambos, predates early Egyptian art depicting cats by 4,000 years or more.

Finally found that cat article I was telling Ebbie about.
