scary stuff

did you know that the ancient egyptians made cat mummies and buried artifacts to follow them in the afterlife. found in tombs of mummified cats were rats and mice for the cats to hunt in the afterlife.

but the egyptians didn’t want it to be all work and no play for their feline idols. they also left saucers of milk in the kitty tombs so they could lap in leisure.

i hope there's a saucer of milk waiting for me too, i could use a little lap of leisure.

more details about these over at one charming party.
