At about the same time, Egyptians began storing grain (谷 物)in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However; cats don't like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believed that eats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortably around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other, they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, eats started to live with people.Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred (繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They often get food at night as well.
