In the Islamic world, the cat was respected and protected because cats were loved by the Prophet Mohammed. From a very simple piece of advice to his actions, there are numerous reports concerning the Prophet Mohammed and cats, resulting in their subsequent acceptance among Muslims.

I think cats are well respected in the Islamic cultures.

Thanks for raising that question as I have learned something new about cats there.

I just meant that the Chinese had a habit of writing everything down even as early as the oracle bones.
