The remains of what may be the first ever pet cat have been found, and they're almost 10,000 years old.
Scientists have found the skeleton of a cat in a grave in Cyprus and reckon it could be the first ever pet cat.
Until the find it was thought people started keeping cats around 4,500 years ago, but now pet cats may have been in our homes some 5,000 years earlier.
The cat was buried very close to a 30-year-old man, perhaps proving it was an important member of the household.
It was thought cats only started to be kept as pets by the Egyptians in 1900 BC, but now it seems it happened many years earlier, the US magazine Science is reporting.
