Cats are among the world’s most beloved pets, known for their moody, broody, and often unpredictable personalities. Yet despite their aloofness, they have walked beside humans throughout history. They have travelled across continents with sailors, traders, soldiers, and monks. Revered in ancient Egypt, featured in Japanese haikus, and woven into countless myths, poems, epics, and folktales, cats have held a mystical place in human imagination.
