#Edit: a user pointed out that the article was published on 1st April so that's most probably an April fools joke. I'm sorry about this, anyways if there is a slight chance that this is true I'd like to know more if not some interesting stuff about ancient Egyptian food would be nice.

This is what the article said:

But cat cheese has been a staple in many cultures since the pharaohs began demanding it at their dinner tables thousands of years ago to honor Mafdet, the lion goddess. According to historical records, cats were first tamed by Egyptians to help control their diets and thus shape the milk's taste. Although some people seemed to enjoy the natural flavors of wild cat's milk, the pharaohs wanted their cheese to taste more like river fish than mongoose and rats, and so the domesticated cat was born.
