Mostly because the Egyptians believed cats to be a gate way to the spirit world or soul stealer, so to appease the cats the Egyptians pampered them and worshiped them like gods. These cats were the same size as modern day house cats.

∙ 12y agoAncient Egyptians believed whole-heartedly in their Gods and Goddesses. Just as Christians, Muslims, etc believe in their respective Gods and/or Goddesses.
The reasons are the same for all religions -
to explain why things are the way they are.
While Christianity has one God to explain all (oh, and a Devil for the bad stuff)....Polytheistic (many Gods) religions had separate Gods for everything.
So for Egyptians, as an example, if you were going to have a baby or wanted to, you would make an offering to Heqet or Meskhenet (there were sometimes more than one God/Goddess for one purpose).
If you read into some of the Gods/Goddesses of ancient Egypt, you will find they are very interesting :) Meskhenet, for example, a Goddess of childbirth, at a persons moment of birth would breathe into them their actual soul (called a Ka).
And of course...The story of Osiris & Isis is fascinating.
Just kidding!
