The cat a deity erected as a statue
The Egyptians and Greeks regarded cats as divine creatures, as they were associated with many aspects of the gods of Egypt and Greece. For example, the god of Egypt, Osiris, was related to cats through his mummification symbols. It was said that the cat's flesh resembled the feathers of birds, and the cat god, Bastet, was also associated with the color purple. The ancient Greeks associated the cat with the goddess Diane, and she too was associated with the color purple. As the cat was the embodiment of the goddesses of love, some Christians represented him as the protective deity of their church.
