The Egyptian goddess Bast / Bastet seems originally to have been a lioness, but later became a cat.

She was an important Egyptian deity: the patron of Lower Egypt (approximately modern Egypt; Upper Egypt is now mainly Sudan) and the protectress of the Pharaoh.

It is probably because cats were divine in Egypt that there are no cats in The Bible.
