Look Out there's a Cat!

Ancient Egyptian Cat
Don't step on that cat or you will be sorry! What I meant by sorry is Killed! Most cats were considered sacred to the Egyptians. Its  like someone going over to your house and setting it on fire or something, in another words don't mess with there felines!  As weird as this may sound most cats were worshiped!!! Why you may ask is because they thought it would be respectful of them. The cats weren't the only thing that was worshiped almost every animal was praised or worshiped. But that's not the only reason the cats were worshiped. Because they were liked so much when you die you would get buried in your tomb (of course) and have 2 or 3 cats in the tomb with you!! Ewww gross why would you want to have dead cats all around you? The answer is 1.(You are dead anyway so it doesn't matter) and 2.They would keep you company in the afterlife. Wow that's some pretty crazy people.

  2. The part about cats being buried with me is so gross! Except I wouldn't mind my cat, Cosmo, to keep me company in the afterlife. Do you have any cats? If so, would you want to be buried with them?
