Cats are the true rulers of the planet. They just let the rest of us live here as long as we serve them. :D
If you have ever lived with a cat, you know exactly what I mean.

cats are strange and some cultures believe them to be faeries (same with birds) or used as 'familiars' in wicca. they're also very intuitive and they can even know when a women is pregnant (even if shes unaware of it)

all i know about they eqyptians and cats were, they felt very strong toward them, like they were holy beings. and every leader that owned a cat would have their cat sacrificed after they passed away and burried with them.
