Wait, I thought cats were mostly spread around the world (from Africa) with the pre-Egyptians, then the actual Egyptians and finally the Greeks? House cats at least. Bigger species probably spread much earlier.

Cats were brought to Japan with Buddhism, I believe.

Buddhism is also much younger than 8500 years, and its arrival in Japan much more recent again.
