Video Description

When you're done learning about The History of Cats, head over to Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy at https://bit.ly/EHHumblewoodCats ! From their wild ancestors in North Africa to their modern reign over the internet, cats have walked a fascinating path through history. Unlike dogs, their domestication was more of a partnership than a transformation—keeping their wild instincts while adapting to human life. They spread across the world, earning a reputation as protectors, pest controllers, and even divine beings, in places like Ancient Egypt, where they were worshiped, mummified, and even sacrificed. * Watch Extra History ad-free & get 1-week early access on *NEBULA* https://go.nebula.tv/extrahistory * Suggest & Vote on our next episodes, get exclusive content & 24-hour early access on *PATREON* https://bit.ly/EHPatreon * Show off your fandom with *MERCH* from our store! http://extracredits.store/ * Interested in sponsoring an episode?* Email us: [email protected] https://twitter.com/extracreditz | https://www.facebook.com/ExtraCredits/ | http://instagram.com/extracredits | https://www.tiktok.com/@UCCODtTcd5M1JavPCOr_Uydg GAMING: https://www.youtube.com/@UCVzt0Ltq6VNKRqRMrry3OIA | http://www.twitch.tv/extracredits/ https://bsky.app/profile/extracredits.bsky.social *Miss an episode in our History of Cats Series?* Part 1 - https://youtu.be/zK1Mpx9h-I8 Part 2 - https://youtu.be/3ofDW6vaZ4M Part 3 - https://youtu.be/0JV9oyb8Uo4 Series Wrap-up & Recommended Reading / Lies Episode: https://youtu.be/04xN-vQf_sc Thanks for the high-quality conversations & for following our community guidelines here: https://bit.ly/ECFansRNice Artist: Nick DeWitt | Writer: Robert Rath | Researcher: A.
