________________________________
Who is Bastet the Cat Goddess? Bastet or Bast was the Ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess of fertility, motherhood, and protection. She was originally a lion god, like her sister Sekhmet, but transformed into a cat.
Watch the story of how Bastet came into existence, under her father, Sun God Ra. The reason why Bastet transforms from a lion god to a cat god is detailed in this documentary.
Why did Egypt love cats so much? The rise in the popularity of cats in ancient Egypt is another fascinating subject that is explored. You will see why cats transformed from a shy animal, into Ancient Egypt's most beloved pet.
Bubastis Temple & Festival: Bastet's tomb and cult center Bubastis is also explored in detail. See what Greek historian Herodotus had to say about his experience at the Bubastis temple and the Bubastis festival.

    What made it worse was the fact that the Roman had killed the cat after a Solar Eclipse. To the Egyptians it was an unforgivable blasphemy, because they believed that cats protected the Sun. They also believed that when the Sun went down that the rays of the Sun went into the cats eyes and they guarded the Sun until morning. It also explained why the cats eyes shine in the dark. 🐈☀️

    Cat Facts Cat's can dislocate their collar bones to flatten themselves out more so that they can fit in very small spaces. Cat's can't taste sweetness. Cat's lay in the sunlight to set their circadian rhythm. Cat's can easily withstand higher and lower temperature ranges than either humans or dogs. Closing your eyes in a cat's presences tells them that you are a friend. Cat's are designed to get all of their water through the meat they eat. All the world's cats are descended from domesticated Egyptian cats.

He helped Isis put Osiris back together when Set cut him to pieces. Yet there’s almost no mythological stories that involve Anubis. Like Hades, Anubis was an edge lord that was satisfied hanging out with the dead minding his own business not starting drama

I first learned of Bastet when she appeared in the December 1998 issue of Top Cow Comics' "Witchblade / Tomb Raider." For too long Bastet has been relegated to commonplace obscurity. Only during the past decade, more or less, have I noticed an increase of deserved attention being returned to this incredible Egyptian Goddess. Thanks for this wonderful video about Bastet.

Also, with the rise of Neo-Paganism and Neo-Kemetisim, her worship is back in popularity in these groups. Goes to show people will always love and need cats, and cats will always need love and people 💛 Dua Bastet!

    Cats are very sacred to me. They are amazing, extremely adorable, and funny too. They don't tend to be noisy (some can be, it depends on the cat, every cat is different) and they don't require too much work. I love both of my cats. I will always respect Bastet. Please respect cats, if you don't like them just stay away from them. Please don't hurt them, for they are animals, nature's treasure. The same goes with Tigers and Lions. Let them live and flourish, they are so beautiful 😺😺

    Cats are my favorites (sorry, doggies (I love you too!!)). I believe they are intuitive and telepathic. I lived with two for a very long time at my daughter's residence and became convinced of this after a long period of observance. I once had occasion to state to the youngest of the two that she was not a human being. Her immediate reaction was one I'll never forget. She appeared wounded - deeply - which evokes even now a feeling of shame as I believe there was a realization for her that cut her to the quick. Had anyone seen her reaction I believe that person would have thought so too. I'm not at all surprised that they were valued for practical and spiritual reasons.

    well, I think domestic cats are already protected. as for feral ones, well, punishing the killing of feral cats would bring only a mass extinction in Australia and many other countries, so feral cats are an exception, as they are invasive pests. But I surely agree with domestic cats, though without death penalty. Just like with any other animal that is not a pest, it needs to be protected by law.

    if you're friends with a cat, consider making a cat tether, from a cat collar and mason line to allow them free range on your property outside. they appreciate the chance to hunt and be outdoors. although you must check constantly for tangles and snags, it's the best solution out there for keeping them on your property and allowing them some time to hunt. eventually when they kill something or at least catch it, don't discourage them, be proud and happy for them. mine has caught over 30 chipmunks but always let's them live, she killed a mouse, she sometimes catches birds but let's them live. the trick here is to watch out every 15 minutes or so to free whatever poor creature she's caught and then duly reward the cat with praise and love. let nature be nature. as much as you can bear. they deserve it.
