Cat Quote

"Thou art the Great Cat, the avenger of the Gods, and the judge of words, and the president of the sovereign chiefs and the governor of the holy Circle; thou art indeed...the Great Cat." - Inscription on the Royal Tombs at Thebes

Cats played a really big part in Ancient Egyptian culture. In fact, the cat was one of the animals they worshipped, the goddess Bast had a huge following. Those of us with cats in our homes can certainly understand why with the grace and dignity all felines seem to possess almost from birth. We went to a local museum recently where they have an ancient Egyptian collection and part of the collection to our surprise was mummified cats! They did this to honor them in their death, I thought it was very interesting & this quote made me think of that.
