Cats ind llonkeys. All animals, even the wildcat. can be subjected in some way to the dominion A of man and be domesticated to some extent. Here, for instance. are two very curious facts about cats. Many persons. including some of our greatest naturalists. believe that our English ` domestic cat is descended from the g Egyptian domestic cat. yet all records ` go to prove that the cats of Egypt liv- ed in droves. were cared for in droves, were red in droves and worshiped` in droves. with-the result that Egyptian cats never got domesticated or became half as intelligent as ours.
