A satirical papyrus showing a lady mouse being served wine by a cat while another cat dresses her hair, a third cares for her baby, and a fourth fans her. The mice have hilarious huge, round ears.

This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap.

A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.

Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.

Bronze and stone sculpture, 4th century BC, clearly demonstrating the progress in our relationships with our feline companions.  Or... lack of progress.

Of course, it’s only been a bit over 2000 years, so there’s still hope.
