My cats seem to know that felines were once worshipped; they are very demanding :)

there are multiple "sacred" animals in ancient Egypt. cats, dogs, alligators, camels, snakes. many had places in the ancient Egyptian mythos. the question is a misnomer. implying that the Egyptians only had one sacred animal, when they had many. a better way to ask the question would be: which of these animals was most revered by ancient Egyptian culture?

Player #4717672, Not my cats. especially Chaz. I rescued him from a kill shelter. He was scheduled to be euthanized in less than 24 hours. I was warned that he didn't really like people and would never be a lap cat. I have been a social worker for many yrs and have worked with abused children. I worked with Chaz, as I would work with an abused child. Chaz is strictly a 1 cat person, but he is a lap cat, loves to cuddle. I have gone through a lot, the last few yrs and Chad seems to instinctively know when he would be a comfort. He gas saved me, just as much as I saved him.

Great how animals are worshiped by humans in different countries and so many get mistreated and killed why? Dogs mans best friend? So why so many mistreated? When humans work it out let me know. Thanks.

My favorite quote regarding cats is from Albert Schweitzer - “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life; music and cats.” I have a kitchen fingertip towel which reads “Cats welcome, humans tolerated.”

The Egyptians worshipped a lot of animals. The picture has oxen. We're those called oryx? There's also ibises, monkeys, crocodiles, hippos... The list goes on and on.

Cats were a gift from the aliens that helped them build the Pyramids. That's why they were worshipped. 👽🙀
