Since the dawn of human history, cats have played an important role in our lives. For example, the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats and thought their presence brought good luck. While today cats are more often thought of as cute and cuddly house pets, originally they were revered as mystical guardians who guided people on their journey through life.
