There is little doubt that house cats first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The cleverest relative is the American wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa.
Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000 ~ 7,000 years ago. From Egypt, cats started to move around the world. At about the same time, Egyptians began storing grain(谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However, cats don't like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believed that eats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortably around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other, they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, eats started to live with people.
Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred(繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.
