Thus, A is coded as (1 + 6) i.e. 7, B as (2 + 6) i.e. 8, C as (3 + 6)
i.e. 9, …., M as (13 + 6) i.e. 19, …., Z as (26 + 6) i.e. 32.
Since, D, A, N, G, E, R are 4th, 1st, 14th, 7th, 5th, and 18th letters in the English alphabet.
So, their respective codes are (4 + 6), (1 + 6), (14 + 6), (7 + 6), (5 + 6), (18 + 6)
i.e. 10, 7, 20, 13, 11, 24. So, the code for DANGER is 10 - 7 - 20 - 13 - 11 - 24.

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.

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.
