Discover our collection inspired by this sacred animal, and let yourself be captivated by its elegance and protective power.

THE HISTORY OF THE CAT

The Egyptian cat is an iconic animal of ancient Egypt, revered for its protective qualities. Indeed, in antiquity, three breeds of cats were recognized, ranging from 3 to 18 kg. This sacred feline was essential for protecting crops from pests, such as rodents and snakes, and preventing serious diseases. Domesticated for its grace and soft fur, the cat became a precious companion. Mistreatment of a cat was severely punished, sometimes even by the death penalty. Temples hosted "cat keepers," and cat mummies found in cemeteries testify to their importance.

ITS SYMBOLS

The cat is often depicted in Egyptian art, on jewelry, statues, and tombs. It is the embodiment of the gods on Earth, notably through the goddess Bastet, who symbolizes femininity, protects pregnant women and children, and watches over the home. This benevolent goddess explains the frequent presence of cat statuettes in Egyptian homes as a symbol of protection and benevolence.
