The ancient Egyptians held cats in high esteem, viewing them as sacred animals. They associated cats with the goddess Bastet, who represented home, fertility, and protection. Cats were revered for their ability to control vermin and protect food supplies, and harming or killing a cat was considered a serious crime. Many families kept cats as companions, and upon their death, cats were often mummified and buried with great care.
