ENGLISH 5-First Quarter-Review

Cats have a long and interesting history. In fact, the cat was probably the first animal kept as a pet.  The Egyptians worshipped cats. In Europe, cats were praised for their ability to catch rats and mice. They  were much in demand during the Black Plague illness of the 11^th century.

In the Middle Ages, cats lost much of their appeal because they became connected with the devil  worship. Many cats lost their lives and gave rise superstitions still they held by some people today. The American Indian did not appear to keep cats as pets, so it wasn’t until the white settlers came  from Europe that cats were kept as pets in America. The Colonists, like Europeans, found cats helpful in  controlling rats and mice
