Cats were revered in the Egyptian household and were considered part of the family. They were very important for killing snakes, mice, rats ad other rodents that were dangerous in that time. At one time if someone killed a cat, even accidently, they were put to death. There is a myth about cats helping to win a battle when many were released and frightened the opposing soldiers. Cats were mummified to 'go with' the family members after death. They were honored in the drawings of the egyptions including on vases and other objects including statues just as other members of the family..
