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! :)

The Ancient Puss
Yes, the ancient Egyptians revered a goddess associated with cats named Bastet (or Bast). She was often depicted as a lioness or as a woman with the head of a lioness or domestic cat. Bastet was a goddess of home, fertility, and domesticity, and cats were considered sacred animals in her honor, symbolizing grace and protection. Killing a cat, even accidentally, was punishable by death in ancient Egypt due to their revered status.
The Phoenicians are believed to have been the ancient people who brought the cat to Europe. It is not clear when exactly this happened.
The cat.
They did not. Egyptians, both ancient and modern, look like people. The ancient Egyptians did believe some of their gods looked like people with cat's heads... But of course there was no basis in fact for that.
The ancient Egyptians saw Bast as a cat goddess. Many ancient Egyptian gods had animal heads.
Cats were not sacred to the ancient Romans, as they did not worship animals. You are confusing the Romans with the ancient Egyptians, who revered the cat.

The Egyptians would shave off their eyebrows out of respect for the deceased cat.
It was the cat. The ancient egyptians worshpted cats as gods. They had a god names Bast that was in the form of a cat.
It depended where in Egypt you were, and perhaps when in ancient Egypt, as not all Egyptians worshiped Bast, the cat goddess.
In ancient Egypt, cats were seen as the guardians of the dead. Also, a few religions were founded on worshiping cat gods.
