^{Talking about this one animal is very unique, why? And what is it! But before we explore the meaning of the cat itself, according to my knowledge, it can be said that the cat itself can be grouped into two groups namely.}

In this opportunity, I will invite you various things that you might like and maybe can add to your scientific insight in getting to know cats.

If we mention the word cat it can be said as a tame animal, moreover the nature of the cat seen in your home environment is a harmless cat, although there are also wild cats that have tame themselves.

🐈 ^{A brief history of the origin of the village cat or moggy}

In each area, of course, it has its own name for a designation of the name of a different object, such as a cat, if in our own area people often call it Kucing Kampung or MeeOung Rumouh and some say Kucing Rumah and also sound Moggy maybe your Region also has its own regional name, depending on your own non-verbal language.

But do you know where the origin of the cat came from, so that until now it is still seen in every region and country. If at that time the pilgrims or adventurers did not travel perhaps today, the cats were only seen in a few countries.

According to the history of human civilization

Basically it is very difficult to check the origin of this Moggy, because there have been a lot of genes that have occurred in cross-breeding, but although the actual origin is not yet known, many researchers say that the origin of this Moggy cat comes from a country, namely African cat.

In a k13 curriculum learning book, with theme 5, history lessons (2013 edition), it was briefly discussed about the origin of this village cat in that discussion, it was told that its origin came from African wild cats or known by other terms namely African wildcat or the researchers call it in scientific language with a title felis silvestris lybica

As a result of the adventurers of the predecessors who visited the entire territory of the kingdom (at that time). Then people thought that the presence of cats was important, so naturally each of these cats grew rapidly to all corners of the world. So it can be said that the native cat seen today is the origin of the African wild cat.

^{Then how was Moggy's journey, to our territory?}

The question above is not a complicated problem that occurred in the past, especially in this era. As stated above, their journey from a distant region occurred because the previous people made a journey such as :

1. Trade between countries
2. Perform a migration
3. Looking for a new island
4. and, other important trips, which are often done by people in the past, whether intentionally or not.

If you look at the criteria above, it can be ascertained that their existence is through trips made by certain people to achieve a goal and target, they have to travel by sea, while this activity is often carried out by certain people using sea transportation. Ships with critical capacities take a long time. When the journey takes a long time, each has to provide various interests on the ship, well this is where the existence of the cat itself is very important. It turns out that cat services are needed in this regard, among others.

1. Having services as a mouse hunter on the ship
2. Considered a lucky animal (incarnation of a goddess)
3. As a consolation in the long journey
4. and, some important tasks in a situation in the life of a human child.

Since centuries, this house cat, has been in every region of the country, of course, with the assumptions as described above, of course it makes sense with this information. Even in some countries have found some cat skeletons that have lived very long or centuries. You can see this in this video.
