The remains of two cats found in the wreckage of a Spanish conquistador ship were likely the first domesticated felines in what is now the United States, a new study says.
The Emanuel Point II, a Spanish conquistador ship, wrecked in Florida’s Pensacola Bay in 1559 during a hurricane.
The shipwreck was discovered in 2006, and the researchers said the remains of an adult and juvenile cat were found in the wreckage.
