| Among the many stories preserved in these tombs is the history of how wild cats first became mousers, then house pets, then gods. |
| They have gone from being mousers and ratters to sleeping on their owners' beds. |
| Long-tailed weasels are good mousers and ratters, so farmers do not mind having weasels around their farms because they eliminate these pests. |
| Excellent mousers, they are known for their gentleness, intelligence, and kind disposition, and are especially good with children and dogs. |
| Still others assert that Norwegian Vikings, who wreaked havoc on the coasts of Europe and beyond from the 8th to the 10th centuries, kept forest cats as mousers and pets. |
| Future kittens had good muzzles but that cat group was not destined to be part of the breed as a whole, due to its environment and the owner's preference that they continue to be her mousers! |
