#tdf126, Hahaha! After seeing a cat doing tricks on the internet I decided to try training my cat. I got as far as getting him to sit to receive a treat...now I have to hand feed him! (Or sit with him & hold his bowl while he eats his "wet" food.) He's not spoilt...much haha 😄

Sadly there were markets holding hundreds of cats raised exclusively for sacrifice to Bastet. She would not have approved. My cat won’t let me forget, claiming 5000 years of oppression.

Player #15188857, So true! You don't own them. They own you. When they rub against you or anything you own, Their stating "I claim you, therefore, you and everything you own is mine."

Egyptians stored grain. Cats kept the rats to a minimum. Hence, their special status.

Dang I wish today’s society inflicted heavy punishments on animal abusers. Stray cats and dogs are abused on a daily basis and the perpetrators should be prosecuted!

Archaeological evidence strongly suggests cats were also raised to be sacrificed to the goddess. Even if cats were cherished it wasn’t enough to protect hundreds or thousands of them.
