No, the Bible does not mention common house cats in the Old Testament. Even though images of cats appear in ancient Egyptian sources, the Hebrew stories of the 210-year captivity in Egypt do not contain information about cats, either in the form of images or in the form of living animals.

Some commentators believe that cats were considered "unclean" pagan creatures and were therefore ignored by the Bible writers. However, it should be noted that dogs are also considered “unclean” in Judaism but are mentioned in the Bible. Perhaps this raises the question of whether the Jews were ever in Ancient Egypt, and the whole story of Pharaoh and Moses is questioned by some researchers?
