Bastet was an powerful ancient Egyptian cat goddess, so she would have lived in ancient Egypt times.
Anyone was. They thought the cat resembled luck so when the person who owned the house died they killed the cat too and mummified it with the owner. Hope this helped! :)
Bubastis was a goddess in ancient Egypt. She was the goddess of protection, and her sacred animal was a cat.
No. Cats were considered sacred as The Ancient Egytpians believed they were messengers of the cat goddess Bastet.AnswerNo, cats were treated like gods in ancient Egypt the worshipped them.
The domestic cat was domesticated by the ancient egyptians when the Pharaoh orderd his people to feed and take the cats inside their homes. The egyptians later worshiped the cat, as a god, Basta, and goddess, Ubastet. Years later, cats were used in Europe as vermin killers on ships, when they were brought to the Americas.
Cats were not brought to America. At least 67 species of saber-toothed cat existed in North America between 42 million and 11 thousand years ago before going extinct. Domesticated cats were brought by Europeans as they settled the New World.
