Sekhmet was associated with lions. In all her depictions she is presented as a lioness, often with the body of a woman. This shows her fierce, destructive, and even maternal side.
In her myth, when she returns to Ra after having ran away and ravaged mankind she is transformed in to the benevolent cat Goddess Bast, showing her pacified aspect.
So Sekhmet is associated with Lions and domestic cats.
