In 1888, more than 300,000 mummified cats were found an Egyptian cemetery. They were stripped of their wrappings and carted off to be used by farmers in England and the U.S. for fertilizer.

Isn't a little morbid? Do you have a more joyful fcat (fact about cat, fcat ;) ) you could share? :)
When a family cat died in ancient Egypt, family members would mourn by shaving off their eyebrows. They also held elaborate funerals during which they drank wine and beat their breasts. The cat was embalmed with a sculpted wooden mask and the tiny mummy was placed in the family tomb or in a pet cemetery with tiny mummies of mice.
And this is really true?
Many Egyptians worshipped the goddess Bast, who had a woman’s body and a cat’s head.
It would be my favorite goddess :P
If a cat is frightened, the hair stands up fairly evenly all over the body; when the cat is threatened or is ready to attack, the hair stands up only in a narrow band along the spine and tail.
Like when you use the vacuum
