Egyptian Mancat Monday

Sol here.
Auntie Deb thinks I look like this old statue.
Daddy Charley calls me his Egyptian Kitty, I have really slanted eyes.
They found another old statue that looks sort of like BJ.
Or maybe it looks more like Smokey?
They made statues of us long ago cause we cats were so important.
We were worshipped and we were royalty.
They even made :: gasp :: cat mummies.
Humans were sentenced to death for hurting a cat.

Cat friends, let's not ever forget that.
(Well, maybe the mummy part.)
Sol.

Lux said...

Sol, thanks for stopping by - actually, my eyes tend to get real big and round when I'm excited and stuff, but they're supposed to be slanted! ;-) (They look that way when I'm sleepy, though ...)

Looks like an Egyptian! Sol, I still think you look like that statue, only more handsome!

BJ & Smokey both look like the another statue.

True Sherwood Royalty!

Sol, you real kitties are just stunningly handsome - more handsome than any old statues, although it's nice to know that kitties have been in charge for a long time.

I believe some of those statues represent my ancestors...

Daisy said...

I love those slanty-eyes!

I think I would enjoy being turned into a mummy when it is my turn to go to the Bridge. I doubt my Mommie will arrange for that though.

You are beloved of Bastet, the Cat Goddess! That makes you very special cat! You even have right name as Bastet was the wife of the Sun God and you are named for the sun!

Tyler said...

Being adored is wonderful, isn't it? I feel for any cat who isn't.

Fat Eric said...

You are furry striking-looking, Sol, with your one white whisker and your slanting eyes. Probably you were Egyptian royalty in a former life...

Tybalt said...

Sol, you are one gorgeous mancat!

The Egyptians had it right.

Sol, you are a regal mancat, indeed! And Missy, thank you for your compliment about my first Carnival of the Cats! It was fun and I'm planning on hosting more in the future.

Purrs,

Rosemary B❤️ said...

Super nice!
You are a great mancat!

Shaggy and Scout said...

Holy moly! The statues are incredible and look very much like you guys!
We still think any one who hurts any little animal should be dealt with severely too!

Moki The Wobbly Cat said...

My bean enjoys going to the Egyptian museum in San Jose. She told me that one time they had a mummified monkey there. Can you believe it!

Boy said...

The Egyptian had just the wight ideas. I think I should move to ancient Egypt.

Kavan said...

You are very elegant, just like those statues, but much more interesting!

In Ancient Egypt cats had the role to save the humans. That's why i have two Egyptian cats ;-)
More about the role of cats in Ancient Egypt I found here, if interested: http://www.richeast.org/htwm/cats/Cats.html

You do pose very well, like the statue.
And of course cats should be worshipped!
