Sarahh(@Sarahhuniverse):According to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, everyone living in a house would shave off their eyebrows when a family cat passed away. The mourning period lasted until their eyebrows grew back entirely, which could take several months. Cats were revered as sacred protectors and linked to the goddess Bastet. Harming or killing a cat—even by accident—was a severe crime often punishable by death. 🎥© greatestcatsinhistory
