Probably also little know, the cat deity of Bastet (often used by modern bookstore witches or even a symbol of lesbians sometimes) was part of a duality with her twin-sister Sekhmet (the lion). Where Bastet represented fertility and the joy and lust for life with priests worshipping cats (they carried the cat around all day in little baskets and served their every need), Sekhmet represented war and bloodshed, violence, the yang to the yin.
Legend goes one day she got SO angry with the insolence of humans she went on a rampage, set out to kill all to the very last human for their impudence (and probably stupidity) until in the end the only thing to calm her down was the big boss Ra who kept feeding her a river of wine, telling her it was human blood until she finally fell asleep.

And that's why humans are still around xD despite their utter ability to screw the whole planet up (and anger the gods)

the last of my felis catus, i used to have five, they all went out walking with me at night, now its just him
