Ancient Egyptians first domesticated cats.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that ancient Egyptians first domesticated cats?

Unclear. Several reference and popular sources say the ancient Egyptians domesticated cats, some repeating the 'first' claim, but the strongest reference works only confirm Egyptian domestication and note the true origin is unknown. No placed source independently establishes that Egypt was the first place cats were domesticated.
