The Ancient Egyptians - because they thought the animal sacred and kept it as a "temple pet"?

Yes, although they became domesticated as the Egyptians kept them around for limiting vermins around crops and harvests. They were eventually made sacred and "temple pets".
However, i just did a read-through on wiki to double check the answer. And apparently evidence of human interaction with cats go back to the Neolithic era.
Anyway, i'm lazy so i'll accept. Take it away Diamondeye.

Who is famous for writing a novel which consists of a single sentence?
I'm afraid he is not that famous

Do you mean you want someone who is famous, but for something else than writing a novel with a single sentence? You are making me more and more

I think Jonathan Coe wrote a very long sentence, but I don't think it was the only one in the novel.
Not Coe (as far as I know).
I might add that novella might be better word for it than novel. I'm not sure what's the exact limit, but it's just about 100 pages long.

Not Kafka, but the direction is right
Not written in English nor in German.
