Migration from Asia onward

As we continue our history lesson of the cat, thanks again to Gloria Stephens for her book, Legacy of the Cat. From Egypt, the little African bush cat became established in China and India in the semi-wild state. Trade evidently later brought the cat to Italy. The Greeks acquired cats from the Egyptians; the seafaring Phoenicians carried cats on board with them to various part of their world. It may have been by this means that Britain acquired cats; the Romans, also, brought cats with them to Britain. Cats were needed, as always, to keep rodents in check. On a more mundane note, I bought canned cat food from Trader Joes that Gigi is going wild over. It's called Tuna for Cats, and I believe it costs approximately 33 cents a can. Enjoy.
