Yep! The Battle of Pelusium, to be exact. You can read more here (https://www.ancient.eu/article/43/the-battle-of-pelusium-a-victory-decided-by-cats/), if you find it interesting/want more detail.

When I went to Guatemala they killed any cats that came on to their campus so that they wouldn't get people sick and ruin their food. So the Persians would throw cats over the walls to do the same thing to their opposition.
