Welcome to Moggyblog. The free to browse free to join resource for cat owners and enthusiasts.

Here on this very website you can read all about moggies and their antics, look up cat breeds and health tips and (perhaps) upload a picture of your favourite pet, or even blog a tale or two on your (or your neighbours) pet cat for others to read about. Of course it's not expected to all be good behaviour and clean plates!

All that's needed is a valid email address, a moggy picture or a story or two. Anyone can join, whether your cat is a 'best in show' rosette winner, top 'mouser' round the shop, or your closest companion. All these 'moggies' are very special cats of course, so why not add your's to the gang?

Most authorities on the subject agree that today's domestic cat is descended from the African wild cat (Felis silvestris libyca). Bones of this animal have been found in the caves lived in by ancient man. It is not known whether this cat was hunted and killed for food or whether it's kittens were raised and tamed and used for pest control. What we do know is that by 2500 BC in Egypt, when agriculture was well established, silos full of gain attracted rats and mice and tabbie cats (attracted out of the woods by these rodents). Paintings and Inscriptions from about this time show cats as domestic animals and the companions of us humans. The Egyptian named the cat 'Mau' because of the way it meows. Why we call them Moggies is anybody's guess.
