The cats of ancient Egypt helped keep the mouse/rat population down, which helped because then the rats/mice couldn't eat the peoples grain, which was VERY important. Furthermore, this helped stop disease that the rodents spreaded from spreading. Cats of Ancient Egypt were so important, they were worshipped, and if a person killed a cat, they paid the same price they would for killing a person: They'd be put to death. Answer by Super Nerd
