The first archaeological evidence of a cat being kept as a<br \/>\npet comes from Egypt around 3000 BC. From that point on, cats became<br \/>\nincreasingly popular as household pets in many parts of the world.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cats were first domesticated in the Near<br \/>\nEast about 10,000 years ago. They were brought to Europe by the ancient Greeks<br \/>\nand Romans, and eventually became the world\u2019s most popular pet. The first<br \/>\nwritten record of a cat being kept as a pet comes from ancient Egypt.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ancient Egyptians had a strong connection<br \/>\nto cats. They were revered as gods and were often depicted with them as part of<br \/>\ntheir religious ceremonies. Cats were also used as rat catchers and were good<br \/>\nluck symbols.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">During the early days of Egypt&#8217;s history,<br \/>\ncats were used as mousers and to rid homes of pests. As Egypt&#8217;s civilization<br \/>\ngrew, so did the importance of cats. They were used as status symbols and were<br \/>\neven buried with their owners in some cases.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Domestic<br \/>\nCats in Islam<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In Islamic history, one of Prophet<br \/>\nMohammad&#8217;s companions was noted for his intense affection for and care for<br \/>\ncats. He was known as Abu Huraira (the father of cats).<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cats, unlike dogs, are permitted to enter<br \/>\nhomes where Muslims pray because they are considered clean.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">According to hadith, the prophet Mohammad<br \/>\nforbade mistreating all live creatures, particularly cats. According to one<br \/>\nhadith, a woman condemned to hell for torturing a cat to death. So, in the<br \/>\nIslamic teachings, Muslims are asked to treat cats well, feed them, and show<br \/>\nthem kindness only. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Types<br \/>\nOf Domestic Cats You Can Find in The Middle East<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Middle East is a western Asian region.<br \/>\nIt is bounded to the north by the Mediterranean Sea, to the east by the Persian<br \/>\nGulf, and to the south by the Red Sea. North Africa, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon,<br \/>\nJordan, and Iraq are all part of the region.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Different animals and species can be found<br \/>\nin the region, and cats are not an exception. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Persian cats are one of the most popular<br \/>\nbreeds available. They are noted for having long hair, which can make<br \/>\nmaintenance difficult and time consuming. They make up for their low upkeep<br \/>\nquality with friendliness and astute behaviour.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Another interesting breed is the Bengal<br \/>\ncat. The Bengal cat is a domesticated cat breed developed from a cross between<br \/>\nthe Asian leopard cat and domestic cats, particularly the spotted Egyptian Mau.<br \/>\nThe breed\u2019s name is derived from the scientific name of the leopard cat.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Are<br \/>\nThere Any Wild Cats in The Middle East?<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">It&#8217;s only natural to locate wild cats in<br \/>\nsuch vast regions and spaces like the Middle East. The Persian leopard, for<br \/>\nexample, can be found in Iran and Iraq. The Asiatic cheetah can only be found<br \/>\nin Iran.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Name<br \/>\nyour Cat in Arabic<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Having a cat around is already a unique<br \/>\nexperience that only cat owners truly understand. After selecting your cat (or,<br \/>\nin most cases, the cat selecting you), you will feel compelled to name it.<br \/>\nSomething to call it with when you want it to eat, be affectionate, or stop<br \/>\nbreaking things.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">If you&#8217;re learning Arabic or just curious<br \/>\nabout the language and want to give your cat a name that will make her stand<br \/>\nout even more, you&#8217;ve come to the correct place. We&#8217;re here to assist you.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Although Arabic names always have an origin<br \/>\nand a purpose, it is preferable to name a cat with a simple, short term that<br \/>\nhas a meaningful meaning and defines the cat.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Here is a list of suggestions for female<br \/>\ncat names: <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Amal: meaning hope <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Farah: meaning joy<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Amani: meaning aspirations <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ishtar: meaning goddess of love<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Nashwa: meaning euphoria <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Noura: meaning light<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Zahra: meaning flower<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Amoora: meaning cute<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Male cat names: <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Saeed: meaning happy<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Karam: meaning generous<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Naeem: meaning comfort <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Naseem:meaning breeze of air <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ameer: meaning prince <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ajwad: meaning generous<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Reem: meaning ghazal<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;\nmso-fareast-font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;mso-fareast-language:\nEN-GB;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA\">Kaser: Meaning sassy<\/span><b><br \/><\/b><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intruduction: The domestic cat is a recent arrival on the human-animal scene.
