Egyptians considered

cats to be sacred, which

is why they mummified

and buried them in

tombs. They would

honor a god by

portraying it with

a cat’s head.

The Egyptian goddess

Bast was shown with the

head of a cat. Bast is the

Egyptian goddess of

sunrise and the protector

of cats, women, and

children.

Connect the dots

in alphabetical

order to draw Bast.

Some people believe that a black cat crossing their path is

good luck. And some believe it is bad luck. These are called

superstitions

.

What you believe might depend on where you live.

Many people in Britain and Japan think black cats are

good luck. In Germany, some believe that black cats

crossing a person’s path from right to left is bad luck. But if

the cat walks from left to right, they believe it

brings good luck.

Each black cat below has an exact twin

except one. Can you find the unique

black cat? Good luck!
