If you want to know the myths or legends about cats, you can do it in any country

The Egyptian cats were the embodiment of the moon goddess Beth, the messenger of the night spirits, and the highest palace walls could not stop them from penetrating, and they stood like the Holy Spirit on the high walls and looked down on the most noble royal family of Egypt, and came and went with ease on the carved water lily patterned walls, without any scruples, until the young queen, who could not bear to be despised by the cats because of her pride, gave the order to expel all the cats in the palace, and the cats left the palace one after another and returned to the temple where they were offered.

Greco-Roman mythology - the god of the moon.

The Greek moon goddess Artemis and the Roman moon goddess Diana are both known as the mother of cats. Diana was once in the form of a cat, and his followers believed that the cat was Diana's sacred beast. The Romans believed that the cat's eyes and even its body would change with the waxing and waning of the moon.

The Greek Gelantias transforms into a cat and becomes a priest to Hykadi, the goddess of darkness and terror.

Recently I was preparing to raise a black cat, which is said to represent bad luck in Western legends.

I would like to know if there is a record of cats in ancient Greek mythology, and I found the above information, but I have a question that I would like to ask the master.

Who is Galentias? I can't remember. There is no problem that Hykadi is Hekater.

Priest of Hecate, I know that there is Medea.

Legend has it that a cat has nine lives. The cat's brain has a strong ability to control the balance of the body. Cats jumping from a height can maintain their balance when falling through their tails, and with the cooperation of their limbs, they can land safely and are not easy to fall.

In Egyptian mythology: The watchman of the underworld.

They have always been known as the messengers of hell, some say they have nine lives, some say they are sacred and inviolable, some say they are the sustenance of the soul, some say they are evil spirits from the underworld, and whether all this is true or not is impossible to explain. The origin of these appellations is tellable, and that is that they are the art of the night, and in the long darkness they jump lightly on the rooftops without a single movement, and sometimes suddenly make a strange meow. It adds a touch of weirdness, like a scream from the depths of the soul, and that's what they are, chilling and loving.

And because of this, they have become an indispensable element in ghost stories!

First there was the tiger.

The tiger is China. The inherent beast of prey has existed since primitive societies. Therefore, China has had a myth about the tiger since ancient times.

However, in ancient China, there were always wild cats, but there were no domestic cats. The breeding of domestic cats originated in ancient Egypt. It was not until the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty that domestic cats were slowly introduced to China.

By the Tang Dynasty, cat ownership was already quite common. Therefore, there are no cats in the Chinese zodiac, because when the Chinese zodiac appeared, cats had not yet been introduced to China, or were not popularized in China. Therefore, because domestic cats appeared relatively late in China, it is not uncommon that there are no myths and legends.

Best Bast (Bastet).

Cat god, the center of worship is in the delta city of Bubastis. Since the cat became a pet, Best has become an important god and image in the home. (Cats killing snakes attacking the sun god are often drawn on papier-mâché grass.)

The ancient Egyptian goddess of the moon, Best, also known as the cat god, has a touching smile and brings people **, dance and love.

Best is the owl-headed goddess who guarded the ancient Egyptian city of Bibastis, and the local area is home to Best's worship center. Best appeared as a feral cat, and it was not until around 2100 BC that the image changed to a domestic pet cat. Previously, Best was seen as a female with a cat's head, but later, some of Best's sculptures wore crowns on his back.

Although Best's image was later changed to a pet cat, he was taken seriously. The Egyptians built the Temple of Best and held annual celebrations to honor his merits and honors. In Greece, Best is revered along with Artemis, the god of hunting.
