Respite from the TV

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a cat statuette from the Ptolemaic Period in Ancient Egypt

In case you’re replete from turkey and its trimmings, but not sated enough to willingly watch the fourth game on TV, sneak out your laptop and go to a great article by the Metropolitan Museum of Art about the culture of cats in Ancient Egypt.

Muzdakis’ article contains some fascinating tidbits about the customs of the time and the reverence with which cats were regarded.

You may consider reading it to your cat (as if your favorite feline didn’t already know about the homage paid to them in days of yore) but remind said feline he or she is living in modern times now and that doesn’t include clawing the sofa with impunity.
