Cats will never disappear from the Internet. You can close all social networks, all disloyal sites, create software barriers unprecedented in cunning, but they will still find a way to arise out of nothing.

You can, after all, shut down the Internet, but they have already settled in our computers forever.

Respect to cats and cats, and a few stories about how they settled in our literature and painting.

The concept of BLASPHEMY comes from the nickname Kotschei (in old fairy tales he was called Tartarin, because of his place of residence). The word Cat in true speech means savior, the deciphering of the word Cat is in the next chapter. Lucifer (Mithra the Cat), nicknamed Prometheus, brought “Fire” from the Moon. He protected the former inhabitants of Ariana, the so-called Aryans (colonists of the first wave) from complete extermination by the gods. From the word cat (savior) comes the name of a domestic animal – a cat, and not vice versa. These mysterious creatures were created by the geneticists of Atlantis-Babylon as helpers; to treat a person and protect his home from lunar infection.

Let’s consider the promised word “cat”, it means protector, savior. Let’s see why: the words leather, sweater, peel, chain mail, bark, well, and so on have a common slogan “ko”. Further, words containing this slogan at the beginning, as a rule, mean protective shells that save and protect from external factors. The letter “T” – “tau” (ta) also means firm protection, stone. (“Stone”: “ka” – main, “men” – person).

Therefore, a cat is a woolly friend-protector and savior. Cats were created, as already mentioned, as ᴀssistants, as “vacuum cleaners”, destroyers of bacteria and viruses in the room. Fluffy orderlies also destroyed their insatiable “horses” of infection – mice and rats.

According to the program laid down by the geneticists of Atlantis, cats, gaining the appropriate electrostatic charge, attract an infection – evil spirits. Then, licking, swallow and take out of the house, burying feces and urine with the infection in the ground. Only that go to the street fulfill their purpose. These properties, of course, have not been completely preserved, they have partially remained mainly in smooth-haired cats. Cats are not professionally suitable; They will not so much cleanse as bring infections, due to the loyalty of their immune system to microbes, as in all females… True, both male and female cats cope well with infectious rodents, but not of all breeds.

… For example, an experiment that has just ended at the University of Virginia (USA) showed that immunity from asthma and allergies is stronger in those children who mess with cats more. Moreover, it is acquired: communication with purrs causes the appearance of antibodies in the body.

In the British Museum, cats are in service (they are full-time employees): they protect the museum premises from rodents. Like any self-respecting employee, they wear uniforms – lush yellow bows. And they also receive a salary – natural products.

In New York and some other cities in the United States, there is a special municipal position – a cat rescuer. At the request of the owners, rescuers climb trees and climb into various cracks to get too curious fluffies who cannot get out of the situation on their own.

Smotherey the cat received the Blue Cross in the UK – a state award for saving her owners during a fire. She woke them up when the fire was blazing in the house.

The fattest cat in the world is Himmii, who died in 1986. He lived in Australia and got into the Guinness Book of Records due to his phenomenal weight of 21 kilograms and 300 grams. The unfortunate kitten could hardly move on his own paws.

The cat became a friend of man a long time ago.

When people learned to grow a fairly large harvest and began to leave grain in reserve, they had a serious problem: rodents of all stripes, especially mice, got into the habit of stealing supplies. The man thought: he needed a reliable watchman – not too large, but agile, and so that he could see no worse at night than during the day. And so that all the malignant rat mice, of course, are afraid of him! That’s when man tamed the cat.

It happened in Ancient Egypt in ancient times – even before the Egyptians began to build their famous pyramids.

The first domesticated cat was the wild Nubian. It was believed that it was tamed more than five thousand years ago. However, archaeologists have recently discovered an ancient burial site on the island of Cyprus, where the remains of a domestic cat rested next to human remains – you will agree that it is unlikely that a wild animal would be buried near a person. Scientists have determined that a domestic cat from Cyprus is nine and a half thousand years old.

Since then, tamed cats have served people properly, exterminating voracious thieves. After all, to save grain and harvest meant to save life at that time. So cats have taken a special place in human life. In some places, they even began to be equated with gods.

In the era of the Old Kingdom (in the III millennium BC), the ancient Egyptians called their supreme deity, the sun god Ra, the “Great Cat”. Sometimes he was depicted as a large red cat who defeats the lord of darkness – the underground serpent Apopus, just as the Sun conquers darkness every day.

In ancient Egypt, the cat was a sacred animal of the goddess Bastet, the patroness of women and the hearth, the goddess of love and joy. And this is understandable – there is hardly an animal more gentle, graceful, affectionate than a cat. And few people can compare with her cheerfulness of disposition. And how it pleases and amuses its owners!

An entire city was dedicated to the goddess – Bubastis. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited it, wrote that at the annual festivals in honor of the goddess Bastet in the city, “more grape wine is drunk than in the whole year. According to local residents, up to seventy thousand people of both Sєxes, not counting children, gather here.”

One of the main attractions of Bubastis was the temple of the goddess Bastet. A lot of cats lived at the temple, which were cared for by specially ᴀssigned priests. There was a special cat cemetery here.

When a cat died, its owners shaved their eyebrows as a sign of mourning. The deceased cat was brought to the temple of the city of bubastis, where it was embalmed in a special sanctuary and placed in a sarcophagus. And so that the poor thing did not starve during the long journey to the other world, embalmed mice were also put there.

Killing a cat in Ancient Egypt was considered the gravest crime, which was punishable by death. At the same time, for a killed slave, it was enough just to reimburse its cost to the owner. As you can see, cat life in Egypt was valued more than human life.

Once the sacred feelings of the Egyptians were insidiously used by the Persian king Cambyses II. Going to battle with the army of Pharaoh Psammetichus III, the cunning king of the Persians ordered his soldiers to tie live cats to their shields. And the Egyptians, in order not to inadvertently harm the sacred animals, decided to abandon the fight.

The Roman historian Diodorus relates that once in bubastis, a man “killed a cat… and the crowd ran to the house of the culprit… Representatives of the authorities could not protect this man from revenge, although he committed the murder by accident.” The Roman Diodorus narrates this event with understanding. After all, in Ancient Rome, where cats came from Egypt through Greece, they were also treated with the greatest respect (except for blacks!).

The law forbade the export of sacred animals from Egypt. But the cunning Greeks managed to hide cats in jugs, putting them to sleep with poppy broth, and secretly, smuggled them to Greece. If a smuggler was caught, he was executed, and the cats were returned to their homeland.
