BUT...they are mentioned frequently in Shakespeare. 39 times in 18 of the 37 plays (The First Folio plus Pericles). And speaking of Pericles:
The Cat, with eyne of burning coal,
Now couches fore the mouse’s hole
And Henry IV, Part 1: I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream
Cats come up 4 times in Romeo and Juliet. My favorite:
Tybalt: "What wouldst thou have with me?"
Mercutio: "Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight."
