    I would have gone the other way with this. Cat is like “what the hell is this thing?” Then goes to lay down somewhere.

    Egyptians didn’t worship cats per se. They were scared of them.

      Where do you get that from? According to Wikipedia they were praised by Egyptians for killing rodents, snakes and crop-destroying birds. That’s why several deities had cat-heads.

        Cats housed the sleeping Egyptian god of Armageddon. That is why harming cats involved severe punishments. That is also why cats were believed to partially exist in the realm of the dead.
