BAST: EGYPTIAN GODDESSProtector of cats, women and children. The Bast Cat was the
goddess of sun but was also associated with the moon because it reflected the sun’s light. She is also known as the
goddess of love, fertility, birth, music and dance

MUMMIFIED CAT

* Many were found to be ~ 2 years old*Necks that were broken may have been
a sacrifice to cat goddess* It was also said that upon the natural
death of a cat, the Egyptian people mourned heavily and even shaved their
eyebrows as a sign of grief!

During the middle ages religious fervor discouraged the practice of paganism. Cats were thought to
be evil and were tortured and killed. The reduction of cats during the 1600 -1700’s was
partly responsible for the spread of the bubonic plague as rodents
spread the black death.

So we’ve talked Tabby, what about the solid colored cats?
Cats with ONLY one color fur are called:
Self or Solid
If a cat is black over most of its’ body but has a patch of white on its’ chest, it would be considered:
Self or solid black with white
![Page 29: Let’s talk Cats! Reading assignment: Encyclopedia of Cat Breeds, pp 32-37.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8743c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Cat colors are all variations of two primary colors:
Red and Black
**White is actually a masking of other colors! (It keeps all other colors from coming through!)
![Page 35: Let’s talk Cats! Reading assignment: Encyclopedia of Cat Breeds, pp 32-37.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8743c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The most common feline coat colors are:
BlackBlueRedCream
Other colors are dilutions/combinations of these colors
![Page 36: Let’s talk Cats! Reading assignment: Encyclopedia of Cat Breeds, pp 32-37.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8743c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pointed Color Patterns
In the Siamese color patterns, the body of the cat has little color, But the “points” of the body appear darker.
Feet, Face, Tail, and Ears are referred to as the “points”Even at these “points”, the colors are diminished so black
appears as a dark brown, commonly called “seal”

Lynx PointLynx Point cats have bands that resemble Mackerel Tabby stripes.
Because they’re points, the stripes only appear on the head, legs and tail, just like the other point colors
