Quote:The earliest true record of domestication comes from a cat that was found deliberately buried with its owner in a grave in Cyprus, some 9500 years ago, and it is assumed that domestication will have begun some time before this as there were no native cats on Cyprus.

My question is...
Did the cat die WITH the owner?? Did they kill the cat just to bury it with the owner?? Did the cat die at a later time and then was buried with the owner??
