The cat is one of the two most beloved animals in human history, a place it shares with the dog. While dogs were with us from the campfires of the hunter gatherers, cats have been domesticated for a shorter time. The cat evolved around 50 million years ago, part of a family of felines which eventually split into the cats we know and love and the ‘big cats’ like lions, tigers and jaguars.

Cats are a popular animal image for tattoos because of their independence, curiosity and unpredictability. People who value these qualities are often drawn to images of the cat to symbolize what they share with the animal. Many of the qualities cats do possess have been exaggerated through superstition and myth, especially in European cultures where the cat became a touchstone for hysteria and persecution during the Middle Ages. For example, cats are said to have nine lives and always land on their feet, two qualities that many people would like to possess.
