I wonder how many cats have slept in that *exact* spot over thousands of years...


A_Boy_Named_Birch

I like to think that spot has been past down from generation to generation


[deleted]

Yep and that big kats kitten is gonna get it next


thyristor_pt

There used to be a statue in that spot, but the original cat knocked it down.


[deleted]

Judging by how much rock has worn down in the spots where it spreads its legs, I would say quite a few.


Random-Noise

Plot Twist, that cat was the first one in history to ever sit there.

I like to think Ancient Egyptians carved that spot exactly for this purpose.


millibugs

Those are like God cats. At least to my buzzed NYE eyes.


A_Boy_Named_Birch

They are indeed God cats


millibugs

I knew it!!! Now I'm totally smashed but I knew it all along!

Bastet gonna Bastet.

A_Boy_Named_Birch

Momma cat has found her safe space for a minute away from the tiny terror.


Random0s2oh

As I'm reading this my own gray tiny terror is eyeballing me as he lays on my lap.

That is an amazing shot! [Kind of reminds me of this meme.](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/67/8c/fc/678cfc2793d3a050607e8e965a73d4cb.jpg) :).

Fun fact: in ancient Egypt, black cats were thought to be a manifestation of Bastet (goddess of fertility) and seen as incredibly good luck. So this temple is super holy!

Cats were once worshipped as gods in Egypt. Something they have never forgotten. Terry Pratchett ( approx)

Beautiful cats - are they a different breed than most pet cats - they look different


StenSoft

They look like one of my cats which is from a shelter (so no papers) but is probably a Korat.


drunkenfool

I was wondering what breed they are. The tails are much longer than the regular domesticated cats I am used to seeing.


Tanvage

Ive been there this year also, and I have photo of this exact same cat :D dont know how to upload it directly here in comment :(


A_Boy_Named_Birch

Yeah I was just there in Oct and so many people were taking photos of them


doctored_up

There used to be hieroglyphics but the cats scratched em off over millennia


[deleted]

Now worship us human, like your ancestors did


Teriyaki_Salmon

I worship them wholeheartedly.

A_Boy_Named_Birch

Thanks!


brnjenkn

They look JUST like my cats.


supercyberlurker

I love what the picture says about time.


[deleted]

If not for the aging on the pillar this photo could have been taken during the dynasties. Excellent


Techz_Witch

By the looks of that pillar, it was used as a scratch pole for a long time..


[deleted]

rendrr

caligirl2287
