"Cat? What cat? I didn't see a cat while I was there..."

Cats have long been admired for their grace, independence, and quiet confidence. While we often associate them with internet memes and cozy naps on sunny windowsills, their history with humans runs much deeper. In fact, across many cultures, cats have been seen not just as pets but as spiritual symbols or even divine beings. Their influence on mythology and belief systems is truly remarkable.
One of the most well-known feline deities is Bastet, a prominent goddess from Ancient Egypt. Often depicted with the head of a cat and the body of a woman, Bastet represented protection, fertility, and health. In her more earthly form, she was seen as a domestic cat, gentle yet powerful. Her image was widely worshipped, and many Egyptians kept cats in their homes to honor her.

Sekhmet is another Egyptian goddess linked to felines, though she’s less known than Bastet. Represented as a lioness, Sekhmet was a warrior goddess associated with strength, war, and healing.
She was believed to lead pharaohs into battle, embodying both destruction and protection. Her fierce nature made her a symbol of divine justice and power.

Beyond Egypt, many other ancient civilizations respected and symbolized cats in their mythology. In Babylonian beliefs, gods and goddesses often took on the traits or forms of animals, including cats.
These stories suggest a strong connection between feline qualities and divine presence, particularly in terms of mystery, independence, and agility.

Japan also has a long-standing relationship with cats in its cultural and spiritual practices. One of the most recognizable symbols is the Maneki-neko, or “beckoning cat,” often seen in shops or homes. Though it appears to be waving, the gesture actually represents a traditional Japanese way of inviting good luck and prosperity. Its popularity continues even today.
I own a land seal but it seems to have a problem, it won't sleep
One legend tied to the Maneki-neko involves a cat at the Gōtoku-ji temple in Tokyo. It’s said that during a storm, the temple cat beckoned a passing lord to come inside, saving him from a lightning strike. In gratitude, the lord became a patron of the temple. Since then, the cat has been honored with its own shrine, a testament to the cultural reverence for feline protectors.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong or dangerous with scruffing an adult cat as long as they aren’t overweight or elderly. Vets do it all the time. It doesn’t hurt them at all.
