The cat enjoyed a special status in Egypt. The feline Bastet was the goddess of joy and music and an elaborate festival was held in her honor every year. With this association, the common cats of Egypt were highly prized, kept as pets, and were considered a part of the family. Often when the family pet died, funerals were held and the animal was mummified to preserve its body for the netherworld.
