If you've ever gazed into a cats eyes, you may have seen mysterious patterns in the retina almost as if you're gazing into an unknown cluster of galaxy gases, stars in our, or a near distant solar system.
Ancient Egyptians including the Pharaohs who were believed to have deep knowledge of the stars, star gates, and extraterrestrials worshiped many animals for thousands of years. Animals were revered for different reasons. Dogs were valued for their ability to protect and hunt, but cats were thought to be the most special.
Egyptians believed cats to be magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck to the people who housed them. To honor these treasured pets, wealthy Egyptian families dressed them in jewels and fed them treats fit for royalty. When the cats died, they were mummified.
As a sign of mourning, the cat owners shaved off their eyebrows, and continued to mourn until their eyebrows grew back. Art from ancient Egypt shows statues and paintings of every type of feline. Cats were so special that those who killed them, even by accident, were sentenced to death.
According to Egyptian mythology, gods and goddesses had the power to transform themselves into different animals. Only one deity, the goddess named Bastet had the power to become a cat. In the city of Per-Bast, a beautiful temple was built, and people came from all over to experience its splendor.

If not, cats may feel as if we humans are just big unpredictable apes. It takes a lifetime to gain the total trust of our house pets unless we've raised them from birth. When we take in feral kittens as our own, the only way to tame them is to feed them, and pet them as we feed them from a young age. Over time, they gain your trust, but can become dependent on their feeding schedules.
If you ever forgot to feed your cats for a day, they'll bring home presents like rodents, snakes, and lizards. It is in their nature to hunt for food, so do they really need us? The answer is no, but we do improve their lives overall.
All the Daily Morph knows is that there are a lot of lizards, snakes, and rodents in life, and you will never know who to trust, but you can trust your little buddies to love you in a time of hurt, or need of companionship.
