Cat's In Rome

Swarms of cats have began to take over the heart of the ancient city of Rome's ruins. They have taken residence in the coliseum, the pantheon, the marble foot of Constantine, and almost all of the Roman temples. Since this phenomenon has sprung up, postcards and pictures of the cats in their new habitats have become very popular. Some think that the cats may have originated from when the worship of the Egyptian cat goddess Bebet, and the practice became very popular in Rome. Cats were finally banned in Rome, xbut it is believed that the cats of today are descendents.
