Mengapa kucing di agungkan orang Mesir?
Zaman dahulu Mesir dilanda suatu wabah penyakit yang tidak diketahui penyebabnya. Penyakit itu menyebabkan kematian yang jumlahnya relatif banyak. Tak seorang tabib pun di negeri itu yang mampu menyembuhkannya. Sehingga suatu hari, ada seekor kucing milik penduduk Mesir memangsa semua tikus yang banyak berkeliaran. Dan berkat jasa kucing, penduduk Mesir yang menyembah berhala berpendapat bahwa kucing adalah Dewa Penolong mereka.
Berkaca pada sejarah, banyak sesuatu yang dianggap penolong malah didewakan dan dituhankan oleh Manusia. Padahal yang di Dewakan atau di Tuhan kan itu sendiri makhluk Ciptaan Tuhan. Harusnya Tuhan lah sebagai pencipta alam semesta yang mesti kita dewakan dan tuhankan. Contohnya saja Matahari, Gajah, Pohon, Patung, yang sering di jadikan Tuhan dan Dewa oleh Manusia.

As we all know cats are the pets of Prophet Muhammad Cats are the most popular pets in the world than a dog. To the extent that there is the movie Tom and Jerry, Sylvester, etc.. But do you know why Egyptians glorified cat? .. Guess the historians claim that the cat has begun to coexist with humans since 5000 years ago. Period when the population of Egypt use the cat as a "keeper" granary of wheat to repel rats along the Nile. So naturally, when the Egyptians worshiped the cat as the cat goddess Bastet in the 600-200 BC and AD. Bastet symbolized by the cat's head, which means goddess of fertility, life, and death. So glorious cat that rules are to protect it. If violated, the penalty will be imposed on even the heaviest man who proved to hurt and kill cats. Cats also have a place of honor. When the cat died the owner was bathing him, as well as family members before finally buried. In fact, if the owner dies then the cat's body will also be incorporated into the funeral as a symbol of love & eternity. This was evident when 300 000 mummies found in the temple of Bast.
Why cats in extolling the Egyptians?
Ancient Egypt hit by a plague of unknown origin. The disease causes the death of the relatively much. No one else in the country physician who could cure. So one day, there is a cat's prey on all Egypt's population of rats that roam a lot. And thanks to cats, people who worship the idols of Egypt argued that the cat was the god of their Helper.
Reflecting on history, many things that are considered helper and dituhankan even deified by man. Whereas in Dewakan or in God's Creation God's own creatures. Should the Lord was the true creator of the universe that we must dewakan and tuhankan. For instance the Sun, Elephants, Trees, Statues, which are often made in God and God by Man.
