That's what I was thinking. Great pic though! Like the style-- and cats!

(For those who aren't aware: cats are lactose intolerant)

I bet they had a special acolyte who's sacred duty it was to clean up the divine cat diarrhea.

There are a lot of cats who aren't lactose intolerant.

Since they worshipped cats as gods, would they find it blasphemous to pick one up and hug it and give it little head kisses? Because i dont know if i could resist doing that

Back then domestic cats were more ferocious. It took until Roman days when the modern tame variant occurred and quickly superseded its predecessor.

Ah yes my great great great great grandcousin's friends dad Dactariums the fith once talked about cat taming jobs being lost to AI, the first tamed cat. Try taming 1 cat, he's already having another litter with yet another cat... All games cats.

Hairless cats are a modern invention - naturally occurring cats always have hair (except rare mutations). It's an important sensory organ for them.
