Precisely when the ancient Egyptians began domesticating cats is in dispute, but the oldest artwork depicting a cat dates from around 1950 B.C. Found at Beni Hasan, this wall painting shows a cat crouching beneath a woman’s chair. Roughly about this same time, cat figures began to appear in hieroglyphics, the Egyptians’ form of picture writing.
