The ancient Egyptians viewed cats as gods. They have not forgotten this.

Muslims despise dogs but have nothing against cats. They are not seen as unclean but dogs are

The Egyptians idolized cats. I’ve always suspected that it may have been because cats kept the rodents down, and saved the grain.

That may have translated to other areas of the Middle East.
