Cats were highly revered in ancient Egyptian society, and killing
30
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.120
a cat, even accidentally was punishable by death. Mummified cats

00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.199
the official term, a group of cats can also be
35
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.919
called a glaring or a pounce. Interestingly, a group of
36
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.560
kittens is called a kindle, and a group of wild

and early twentieth centuries, famous for his anthropomorphic paintings of
42
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.159
large eyed cats and kittens. His work ranged from cute
43
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.240
and whimsical to increasingly abstract and psychedel later in his life.
44
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.639
Wayne's evolving style is often studied in relation to his
45
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.840
mental health, as he was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his
46
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.400

fascinating fact. Maine coons are known for their large size
49
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.639
and long, shaggy coats. The longest domestic cat ever recorded
50
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.479
was a Maine coon named Stewie, who measured forty eight
51
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.879
point five inches one hundred and twenty three centimeters from
52
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.080
nose to tail tip. Maine coons are often referred to
53
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.360
as gentle giants due to their large size and typically
54
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.280
laid back personalities. Thank you for joining me, I'm journey

and cuddles. And remember, in ancient times, cats were worshiped
62
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.560
as gods. They have not forgotten this. Portions of this
