MUMMIES

  Not sure how to take this fact… the ancient Egyptians venerated their cats so much they mummified them. It was a capital crime to kill a cat on the streets of Thebes. Cats were sacred. I own three cats so I guess I am guilty of participating in Bastet’s ancient cat cult….. & then there is the mummies. Something ludicrous & creepy & truly funny about these artifacts. If I were a cartoonist I would love the form these cat mummies take. Check out their faces. Sometimes I have to pinch myself. Reality is more dreamlike than I ever imagined… who would of thunk….. cat mummies… what next?
