The cat, a divinity erected as a statue

The Egyptians and Greeks considered cats to be divine creatures, as they were associated with several aspects of the gods of Egypt and Greece. For example, the Egyptian god, Osiris, was associated with cats through his mummification symbols. The flesh of the cat was said to resemble 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 Diana, and she too was associated with the color purple. Since the cat was the embodiment of the goddesses of love, some Christians depicted it as the patron deity of their church.
