@curtisRyanWoodside if you were a real egyptologists. You'd know that yes they did name their cats. One that is approx 3400 years old named Nedjem, but more were variations like Myw, Miu, Mau, feminine Miit, Miat ("He/She Who Meows")

One example of naming doesn’t count, and the meow name is the general name for cats. Dogs were given actual names like people do today.

Please keep your heart open, Bast will reward you with another of her children. She has gifted me with cats, the 2 I have keep me going, because of the back injury.

Same here. One of my earliest memories are about cats. She was a tabby cat. Named Tabby. She was curled up on my mom's rocking chair. I am 58 years old this year old. I have had at least 1 cat all my life. And I hope to have them until I die.

Bastet is my favorite Egyptian goddess - one of my cats is named after her. So excited for this! Love your documentaries, Curtis!

What an enjoyable documentary👏🏽👏🏽💯…Thank you so much for making it!! It’s fascinating to think that most people have it wrong about the popularity of cat worship in Egypt. I’ve kept cats since I was a little girl and currently have two cheeky boys, a ginger Tom called Piggy and a completely black cat called puma. They and many of my other babies came to me as strays and just moved themselves in. Cats are truly remarkable and it’s no wonder they were seen as protectors for the household in ancient times. Long live Bastet and the worldwide love we have for our feline friends🥰🐈‍⬛🐈☀️✨❤️❤️🐾🐾✨💫

I did a regression hypnosis… I was accompanied by a black panther into Egypt 🇪🇬 (I’m Cuban) I was a ruler (consort) who helped many people including my own servants, putting gold in their pockets, i could see them smiling, i felt loved and felt protected. I had a huge belly almost 6-7 months and was walking down a hallway sand color.. until i sat on a stone throne and people would come to me for help. And I’d help them solve whatever problem, giving them gold and gifts… This is who I am today, i help everyone even at personal expense sometimes… i felt included in this regression i felt i was at home… and felt that panther was my guide and my protector
