Eygptian worshipped cats as gods. After all these years, cats haven't forgotten this.

Mummified lion unearthed in Eypt. Clearly Bastet was not just the goddess of normal house cats, but also the big cats as well. I'll have to see whether we've already checked in and routed that issue of Nature. Knowing my luck, I sent it on its merry way without glancing inside, except for checking the numbering. Also a new icon community aesthetic_icons has opened for ones based off artwork, including a recent post of Egyptian themed icons.
