Trivia: What is the Greek-inspired name for a cat lover?
Ceraunophile
Cynophile
Ailurophile
Thalassophile
The correct answer is Ailurophile
So why is this answer correct? : While cat lovers have existed since ancient times, this word only appeared in the early 20th century. The word has Greek origins — “ailuros,” meaning cat, and the suffix “-phile,” for love. Perhaps the most famous ailurophiles were the ancient Egyptians, who worshipped cats, believing them to be magical and bringers of good luck.
