Cat Like an Egyptian

May 3, 2019 By: Summer Samba40 Comments

somali cat in front of an Egyptian backdrop

A long time ago — she doesn’t even remember when — my human found this throw with an Egyptian print on it. She doesn’t recall where it came from either. She only remembers knowing that she had to hang onto it! She thinks somebody was discarding it. She had no idea where or how she was going to use it and it sat around for years. Now, it gets to be a backdrop for a photoshoot with me! Which is only proper, considering how ancient Egyptians worshipped us kitties.

Also, she found this CleoCATra costume for me a while back, so it all works together. I’ve worn this headdress before, you might remember.

We tried a few different angles. I think this one is really dramatic!

It seems like I can’t do a modeling session without some sort of wardrobe malfunction!

Maybe I should do a profile pose, since all the ancient Egyptian humans seemed to be in profile. But I’d better fix this costume first. This setting is a good idea, but I think we will have to do a makeover shoot.

    One of the blogs I read mentioned this past week that the ancient Egyptian cats were abys or somalis. (Maybe on your blog.)

    I love sculptures of “Egyptian Cats,” where they are standing very straight-up!

    It makes kitty cats look so pretty and intelligent!

    Perfect. The Egyptians would have had you
    sitting on the softest of pillows and you
    would have the best delicacies to eat.
    (Actually, you seem to have it pretty good
    right now!)

    You are precious no matter if it’s perfect or a malfunction. The fact you can wear all your costumes is amazing. I would expect blood shed if I tried with my girls, and they are good girls
