cat goddess
Egyptian whisker divinity
A cat goddess is a deity associated with or depicted as a cat, most famously the Egyptian goddess Bastet, who was worshipped as a protector and symbol of fertility.
The term appears in discussions of ancient religions and mythology: The temple was dedicated to the cat goddess.
More casually, it describes a cat treated with exaggerated reverence by its owner: She serves her cat goddess fresh salmon every morning.
