In ancient Egypt, what was the penalty for killing a cat?

And cats have never forgotten this!!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if ALL cultures respected and cared for ALL animals! There would be no more trophy hunting.

The real reason was because Egyptian cats protected the harvests from rodents and prevented famine

if anyone killed my cats I would end up in jail because I would kill them. Pope Gregory VIIII told people cats were evil, and in his reign roughly 5 million cats were killed savagely in Europe. in Christian Easter rituals. I hate religion!

Jessicka, and cats have a mind of their own You cannot bossed them but they capable of being the boss of the house 😺😼😾

I answered this question and read the explanation with my darling black kitty napping on my lap. 😻💖

Fredrico, I’d do away with anyone who hurts my pets whether they’re cats or dogs any pets. The way I see it is someone who will kill an innocent animal would kill a human.

GraceSpace, Sadly, some people simply wants to see the world burn.

Dorothy , However, it did happen, so Lorraine is correct. For that time frame it was the truth. Many books teach the same. She said nothing about the book, only a sect of a particular organized belief system or religion.

Player #33292972, Which can also be an innocent animal. 😉

Player #33292972, I don’t like cats but would never hurt them. It’s a crime

Maximillian G, same as beetles

Lorraine , that is not true for me and others who believe the truth, the Bible doesn't teach that. Read it to know the truth.

they did worship cats.

Jessicka, You know the old saying, dogs have owners, CATS have staff. 🤣🤣

People were expendable in ancient Egypt, but not cats

Player Say what!?, I agree! ❤️

Lorraine , There is no Gregory VIIII, it’s Gregory IX.

cherry, aka IX

Player #33292972, you're implicating yourself!

BrightRaven, that’s so true!! My besties cat George runs that house! It’s hilarious when we on video chat, on our cell phones and he’ll sit right in front of the cameras and we can’t see each other! She’ll move him aside and he’ll come right back and stare at the phone like he’s telling “me” I Priority around here not you!! It’s so funny cuz he does it every time he hears us talking!! I hear his bell and he trotting right up between us! She told me the minute we hang up he goes to his bad or her bed and will sit on top of her headboard! Like he’s saying mission accomplished they got off the phone!! We talk for hours almost every day!! Lol!! Honestly, I think we get on His nerves!! Lol!!

People who have cats become the trained servants of their felines.

Mythologies/ faiths/ religions/ cults/ beliefs,/ etc. (pick a term you prefer, they are all interchangeable). It is Groovy to learn the different lores of old & new.

Jessicka, so true!! My cat is definitely treated like royalty!!

Player Say what!?, Inhumane violent behaviour doesn't fix Inhumane violent behaviour. it's about Education and getting people to REConnect with Nature ❤️

Player #33292972, Exactly! I've often thought that if a person can put bait out under a tree, hide in a stand up above and wait for an innocent deer, elk or bear to come to you so you can kill it, then pose proudly holding its head up by the antlers, how hard would it be to shoot a driver who you thought cut you off? The same goes for the mousy man who needs to kill elephants, hippos, and even giraffes to feel manly.

Lorraine , what number is that Vllll 9
