The number of dogs in China has soared, reaching over 120 million in 2023, and animals are the most common. Younger years see their “furred boys” as a cheaper alternative for human kids, experts say. Shanghai Museum is capitalising on that attention- Saturday’s event, heralded as a second in China, is just one of 10 planned cat times. Amy, a cat owner, told AFP,” I ca n’t imagine my life without a cat.” So I am aware of why Egyptian gave animals such value. In old Egypt, animals were regarded as sacred.
