IS YOUR CAT AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS?

This article on Cats and Kittens tells the Cinderella story of the cat in Ancient Egypt--from servant to goddess. Research from drawings, paintings, and statues found in tombs and ancient writings, shows that the cat began as a servant, catching mice and other rodents for their keepers. Through the centuries, however, the feline changed from servant to favored companion, and eventually cats were worshipped as gods or goddesses. Along the Nile, there are many cat graveyards where beloved companions were embalmed and buried. Should you bow down to you cat? Check out this site and see what you think.
