Cats are not just our pets, and companions. They have always had more meaning to us than that. Since Egyptian times cats have been treated like goddesses, and some were even mummified the way humans were.
Almost all cultures have stories and myths that feature cats. They have been worshiped worldwide, and have become some kind of an icon.
Human kind’s imagination has made cats into legends. We see cats as symbols of grace, poise and knowledge.
The cat is often seen as a synonym of the underworld, more precisely a guardian of its gates.

Cats are mysterious, silent and stoic creatures, and their knowledge goes deeper than we can see.
