The first paleontological discoveries locate the first foci of domestication of the cat in Egypt towards 2000 B.C. The ancient Egyptians used to call the cat the onomatopoeia "miou". The cat was appreciated for its sweetness, its grace and its indolence, but the cat is mainly a protective animal. When hunting small rodents, it protects the silos where the Egyptians kept their harvest, vital resource for this town of farmers. The Egyptians venerated the cats and at funeral the cats were filled with all honors of state and the family to which he belonged mourned and shaved his eyebrows. The richer the family, the more important the funerals were, and the more sumptuous the sarcophagus. The cat were accompanied by embalmed mice.
