Cats were not as popular in Ancient Greece as in Egypt and Rome, however they were a very familiar part of family life. Aristophanes the comic playwright, liked to include cats in his theatricals and often used the phrase “the cat did it” for comic effect.

These days, in a single day in fact and in one location you can find many Greek cats using ancient Greek monuments to best effect and soaking up modern Greek Sunlight oblivious to the past and not caring about the future past the next meal.
