2. The beloved cat of Prince Thutmose’s 

Even though cats were known to have been venerated by Egyptians during the Ancient Times, there’s not much reference to them as pets.

However, in 1892 when the tomb of the prince Thutmose was found and in it, the archaeologists also found a small sarcophagus with inscriptions and hieroglyphs on it.

Which meant that it was also the resting place of his pet. Apparently, the prince wanted the cat to be with him alive and in the afterlife too.

Where can we order one for us and our pet?!

3. Crassus had an eel

Marcus Licinius Crassus was a Roman general who played a major role in the creation and development of the Roman Empire. He also had a pond full of fish and eels as well.

The general developed a soft spot for one of the eels, bringing it jewels and giving it daily treats. When the eel died, Crassus buried the animal and even wept.

4. The crow of Amenemhat the 3rd

The pharaoh of Ancient Egypt had a tamed crow which he trained to deliver his messages. Apparently, the bird had  the equivalent intelligence of a border collie and was as good as a pigeon carrier, if not better.

When the pet died the pharaoh had built it a tomb.
