society views cats as little fur balls of attention, and evil yet adorable geniuses hell-bent on world domination. During the course of history though, cats were viewed differently. Mainly tamed for their ability to catch mice, the earliest known feline-human relationship was found in a shallow grave in Cyprus. A human being was found buried with his young cat.
