Now here we are, what we've been getting at all along, why cats were praised instead of dogs In Ancient Egypt. Some say cats were praised because the sun god Re had 75 forms and several of them were cats including "Miutyaa" the "Great female cat". Egyptians kept cats as household pets along with animals we call exotic. And cats were raised in temples to become mummies to guard the Pharaoh as he enters the after life. Some people say the Egyptians just liked them since they were discovered, around the beginning of Egyptian time. But the most common reason and most likely the long and tragic tale that you are lucky enough I will tell you.
The Ancient Egyptians wanted a creature wise, strict and beautiful, and smart. They did not appreciate the presence because the God of the dead, Anubis, was a sad and solemn thing to talk about, remembering their loved ones. But they discovered the Bau cat 50 years after their cries were answered and they discovered the Egyptian Bau Cat a clever species, and they also made a cat goddess who is also a Bau Cat. The Much loved cat was said to drink the milk of goat.
They also chose cat's because they hunt pests like rats, mice, and snakes or to the Egyptians the devil. They thought they would protect their homes with wealth and health.
