The cat in Ancient Egypt
Divinized, the cat represents the goddess Bastet, sweet and gentle, disciplined after the god's anger. Having appeased the lioness, she became a graceful, feline cat.
Thousands of effigies deposited as ex-voto offerings by devotees seeking her blessings were discovered in the pits of her sanctuary. According to some scholars, the cat came to Europe from Egypt, and our authentic alley cats are in fact Egyptian by heredity.
