I'm guessing all these cat mummies have collars.

Modern Egyptian cats are useful for cockroach control, besides their normal rodent control activities.

I believe all the 5th dynasty pyramids were of the step variety, and that includes the son and successor of Menkaure, builder of the third large pyramid at Giza.

This is very true in our house.

A house isn’t a home without a cat causing trouble.
