The ancient Egyptians often buried their pet cats with items that reflected their status and the affection they held for their pets. Common items included jewelry, food, and personal belongings, which were believed to accompany the cats in the afterlife. Cats were revered in Egyptian society, and their burial alongside these offerings underscored their significance in both life and death. Additionally, elaborate cat cemeteries, such as the one at Bubastis, highlight the importance of feline companions in ancient Egyptian culture.
The ancient Egyptians' second favorite pet, after cats, was likely dogs. Dogs were valued for their loyalty and companionship, often depicted in art and literature alongside their owners. They were also used for hunting and guarding, highlighting their practical roles in addition to their status as beloved pets.

Ancient Egyptians believed that whatever was placed with the Pharaoh or significant person in their tomb would follow them to the after life. Pet companions were mummified along with these people in order that they could transcend life into the after life.

When a pharaoh died, it was custom for all slaves that served him to be slain and buried with him. This does not exclude his favorite dish or pet. Egyptians believed that, in doing this, the pharaoh would awake in the 'other world' with everything he had in his previous life.
