I got cat's all over my community. I saw a mother and two kittens today. I tried to give them food and the mother started to hiss. My laser toy doesn't seem to work on stray cats.
Thank G-d Pepper is Ok! Is she able to tolerate use of Revolution or some other type of flea repellent?
Learn Hebrew: Cats
by Shira Cohen-Regev
The most popular pet in the world.
The master of the house – and the alley – is the cat ((http://media.aish.com/images/chatul.gif) chatul). Cats are the most popular pet in the world ((http://media.aish.com/images/chayatMachmad.gif) chayat machmad). Traditionally, historians have thought that ancient Egypt was the site of cat domestication, due to the clear depictions of house cats in Egyptian paintings about 3,600 years old.
Unlike many animals, the cat's language seems to be universal and all cats have the same meow ((http://media.aish.com/images/meow.gif)). In Israel you can see cats everywhere in every street, on fences, in garbage cans, or next to any possible food supply. Legend is that in the 1930s, the British brought cats to the Holy Land to control the rat population; that was solved and now Israel’s cities have a preponderance of wild cats.
Many cultures have negative superstitions about cats. An example would be the belief that a black cat "crossing your path" leads to bad luck. Believing in this would be a violation of the Torah commandment not to ascribe power to omens (Leviticus 19:26).
Cats are mentioned fondly in the Talmud. Our Sages of Blessed Memory ( ) refer to cats as an example of modesty, for the way they cover their droppings:

Transliteration: I’lmale lo nitna Torah, hayinu lemedin tzni'ut mechatul.
Translation: If the Torah wasn't given, we would have learned modesty from the cat.

Egyptian Maus are a small-medium sized short-haired cat breed. They are the only naturally spotted breed of domesticated cat.[1] The spots on an Egyptian Mau are not only on the coat; a shaved Mau has spots on its skin. The spotted Mau is an ancient breed from natural stock; its look has not changed significantly as is evidenced by artwork over 3000 years old. Unlike other spotted cats such as the Ocicat or Bengal cat, the Egyptian Mau is a natural breed.[1] Other breeds are created from domestic breed outcross or, in the case of the Bengal cat, domestic outcrosses with wildcats. The Mau is significantly smaller than these other breeds.

Cats (Felis sylvestris catus), known in Ancient Egypt as the mau, played a role in ancient Egyptian society. Beginning as a wild, untamed species, cats were useful for limiting vermin in Egyptian crops and harvests; through exposure, cats became domesticated and learned to coexist with humans. The people in what would later be Upper and Lower Egypt had a religion centering around the worship of animals, including cats.
Praised for controlling vermin and its ability to kill snakes such as cobras, the domesticated cat became a symbol of grace and poise. The goddessTedfam, the deification of justice and execution, was a lion-headed goddess. The cat goddessTsab(also known asTasbab) eventually replaced the cult ofTedfam, andTsab's image softened over time and she became the deity representing protection, fertility, and motherhood.
As a revered animal and one important to Egyptian society and religion, some cats got the same mummification after death as humans. Mummified cats were given in offering to Bast. In 1888, an Egyptian farmer uncovered a large tomb with mummified cats and kittens. This discovery outside the town of Beni Hasan had eighty thousand cat mummies, dating to 1000-2000 B.C.E..
