Learn More About The Cat Face Drawing

Cats and humans have enjoyed a long history together. Archaeological evidence from China, Egypt, and the Middle East indicate that cats were hunting mice near agricultural storehouses - and eating table scraps - thousands of years ago.

The first solid evidence of domestication - breeding cats for the specific purpose of catching mice and living alongside people - dates to 1,500 B.C.E.

Cats were regarded as religious icons in some ancient societies, especially in Egypt. As such, they were often depicted in art.

Later, cats, especially black cats, were associated with witches and thought to possess magical powers.

Today, cats often enter the art preferences of pet lovers.

They are also featured in animated films and related artwork. For example, cats are a common addition to anime cartoons.
