Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. More airy than Venice, with wide-open
spaces, it is one-third water. Its other two-third combine arched bridges, jet
fountains, and palatial buildings trimmed with gold. For Stockholmers, fans of

frozen waters of the channel.

Man’s attitude to various animals changed many times in the course
of centuries. From indifference or practicality, he went on to adoration and
deification, and then to hatred. Ancient Egyptians, for example, highly
appreciated the cat’s ability to destroy rodents. The cat was much superior in
this respect to the grass–snakes and weasels they had kept in their houses
before. These proved unable to cope with hordes of rats which invaded Egypt
from Asia. So the cat, a very useful animal, was ranked as a sacred animal and
one of the most important animals, too. The goddess of the Moon, fertility and
child–birth, Bast herself was portrayed by the Egyptians as a woman with a
cat’s head.

Sumptuous temples were built to this goddess, where cats were kept
in luxury and fed the choicest of foods. They had their own priests and
votaries, more numerous as a matter of fact than any other sacred animal could
boast. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, the festival in the city of
Bubastis, which had a temple dedicated to cats, was attended by as many as 700
thousand, who brought their offerings to the goddess in the shape of figurines
of her made of gold, silver and bronze and adorned with precious stones.
