The egyptians believed cats were Gods.
The cats agreed.
Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.
I love it when someone drones on and on about how cute they are.
I tell 'em if they were half as big as they are, and the cat was twice as big as it is, they wouldn't be the owner, they'd be the lunch!

but their status rose to that of the sacred animals and then on to the most esteemed deities like no other creature before them. They must not have had any garbage dumpsters in Egypt or they wouldn't have esteemed them so much.

I took in a Egyptian Mau years ago and it was very beautiful. I loved her markings. She was good natured. Unfortunately she was killed by the garage door coming down on her.

Interesting.
It is funny, there is this tune still going through my head and it is 24 years old - from Boy Scout Summer Camp at Camp Ransburg near Bloomington IN by Lake Monroe. The lyrics always start with , "The Cat Came Back....." I wonder if they still sing of it today.
Just adding this to the GGG catalog, not sending a general distribution. Found while looking for Bubastis topics on FR (obviously ;').

I am highly offended with the aspect of non understanding of Sekhmet. Sehkemt is one of the Origional 8 who made Atlantis. Those 8 moved out wards and settled in the 4 corners of earth. Sehkmet and her Husband Made Egypt...Sehkemt isn’t a Cat Goddess nor a Rival...She is the Mother of All Egypt...I am very very highly Offended on all lack of understanding of the True Ancient Egyptians...Cat’s are the Gaurdians of the Underworld. Do more research before posting your assumptions of something that you do not understand in the near future.
