The ancient Egyptians mourned their cats by shaving off their eyebrows.
Cats are thought to have been worshipped by some ancient Egyptians and
possibly associated with deities because cats hunted many of the creatures
— such as vermin and insects — that threatened Egypt's food supply. By

burying its body with milk, mice and other items that the animal was
thought to need in the afterlife.
