About this listen

Join Juniper Snout as she traces how domestic cats traveled from ancient Egypt to every continent as opportunistic stowaways on Roman grain ships and Silk Road caravans. Discover the surprising genomic evidence revealing cats arrived in Europe only 2,000 years ago, why they never truly changed from their wildcat ancestors, and the 9,500-year-old burial that started it all.
