Here's an interesting article:
From this we can say that after Creation, cats moved East and Southwest from Eden. The cats got to China first because there was not much to interest them between Eden and China. (And there still isn't.)
The cats that reached Egypt obviously were delayed by the godliness of the Holy Land but ended up in Egypt, probably as some sort of slaves.
We see the kitten in question was obviously one that died in the flood and was buried by the descendent of Ham.

Kitten Burial Hints Egyptians Kept Cats 6,000 Years Ago
The skeletons of six cats, including four kittens, found in an Egyptian cemetery may push back the date of cat domestication in Egypt by nearly 2,000 years.
The bones come from a cemetery for the wealthy in Hierakonpolis, which served as the capital of Upper Egypt in the era before the pharaohs. The cemetery was the resting place not just for human bones, but also for animals, which perhaps were buried as part of religious rituals or sacrifices. Archaeologists searching the burial grounds have found everything from baboons to leopards to hippopotamuses.
The new find includes two adult cats and four kittens from at least two litters. The size of the bones and timing of the litters hints that humans may have kept the cats. The bones date back to between 3600 B.C. and 3800 B.C., which would be 2,000 years before the earliest known evidence of cat domestication in Egypt, archaeologists report in the May issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The origin of cats
Archaeologists once believed that cats were domesticated in the time of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt, approximately 4,000 years ago, between 2310 B.C. and 1950 B.C. But in 2004, researchers reported a 9,500-year-old joint burial of a cat and a human on the island of Cyprus.
Meanwhile, cat domestication in China may date back 5,300 years, according to research published in December 2013.
