Cat Quote of the Day:

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Ancient Egyptian Cat, London

Cat, bronze sculpture from The British Museum, London
Exhibition title: "Divine Cat", December 2007
Similar sculptures were made by Egyptian donners at that time to ask their gods to give them long and healthy life.

Cats were worshiped in Egypt to such extent that it was forbidden to kill them, and the penalty was death.
