The Cat in World Mythology
Cats have been the protagonists of myths and legends from all over the world. Some have worshipped them, some have condemned them, and today people are idolizing them again, though maybe not with that fervor of the Ancient Egyptians.
The cats in Noah's Ark
have been the subject of many folk legends. Such legends are not as well established as the previous mythological accounts referred to. Nevertheless, they are not less interesting. According to one of these, at the time of the flood, Noah took pairs of rats and mice too. However, the rodents multiplied very quickly and the Ark was, after a while, infested by rodents. Noah consulted the lion, who as king of the beasts may have known a solution. The lion sneezed and from his nostrils, a pair of ready-made domestic cats came out, who instantly set down to work, having a natural instinct for being "verminators".
Sometimes, it is said that God created the cat, but that the mouse is the Devil's work. The Devil's mouse set out to destroy all life forms by gnawing a hole in the Ark. However, God's cat saved the day by killing the mouse, and a frog crept in the hole, thus getting it's amphibian tendencies, by being in contact with water and dry wood simultaneously.
