Mummified Cats/Playing with Scheduling

This post is just my attempt to see if I can make something post at 4:30 in the morning next week (or today, the 30th, if it publishes properly).

Snapped this a few years ago when I ended up in the Louvre. While packed with interesting and bizarre things, mummified cats topped the list for the strange. Apparently they were mostly made as sacrifices for Egyptian Gods, rather than grave goods.

What is really frightening is the fact that they still looked cute.

    Oh wow, this honestly surprised me. I'm admittedly not that familiar with ancient Egypt, but am still shocked that I wasn't aware by the vast volume of these dog mummies.
