'If your offering is a fellowship offering, and you offer an animal from the herd, whether male or female, you are to present before the LORD an animal without defect. If you present an animal from the herd as a peace offering to the LORD, it may be a male or a female, but it must have no defects.
Molecular Evidence for Cat Domestication. A recent study suggests that cats were domesticated at the same time as that of wheat and barley in the Fertile Crescent region, that is about 10,000 years ago. Time will tell--the only archaeological data supporting that is at Shillourokambos in Cyprus.
Because of this and because they are fed better, cats now live longer, healthier lives than ever before. The average life span of indoor cats is about 14 years â though this is reduced to 4 years in cats that are allowed to roam free, exposing themselves to the hazards of outdoor life. Family structure has changed so that both owners often work, spending long hours away from the home.
