However, it is possible that catswere already kept in Europe prior to the Roman Empire, as they may have already been present in Britainin the late Iron Age. Domestic cats were spread throughout much of therest of the world during the Age of Discovery, as they were carried on sailing ships to control shipboard rodents and as good-luckcharms.

Several ancient religions believed that cats are exalted souls, companionsor guides for humans, that they are all-knowing but are mute so they cannotinfluence decisions made by humans.
