Cat Mummies


Bastet
 
If you know what a mummified cat looked like you would probably throw up! When the cat was born the people would raise it and worship until it got older then they would break its neck and do all the mummification stuff then buried it with another person. Why would they do such a horrible thing to a little kitty cat well this was because of Bastet they wanted to show her honor and respect for all the work she did for them. Bastet was known for having a cat head and a human body she would eat rats, mice, birds etc. to keep the food bacteria free, and good enough to eat, so that they children wouldn't get sick. It sounds like Bastet was a pretty interesting hard working kind of person. She was probably full all the time because she eats so many rats and mice. Ewwww

  1. Poor cat :(. That is so wierd about how they would raise it then break its neck and bury it with someone. That is just plain creepy. And what about the mummy stuff, why would they do that to the cat they murdered?!
