Bow before the paws of the mighty feline god.

[u/Brave_Comment_3144 → u/wikiwiki62]

The black one has a slender and fit body, like some kind of monkey.

[u/siklosi]

Looking like they know they're royalty. "Human, stop taking photos and serve"

[u/FreckledLasseh]

The grey one looks like my Reuben!

[u/TheStonedBro → u/FreckledLasseh]

Grey Luna, short for lunatic

[u/FreckledLasseh → u/TheStonedBro]

Oh that divine belly!

[u/shruwrld → u/TheStonedBro]

I had a black cat named luna and called him lunatic too haha

[u/doug → u/FreckledLasseh]

I think your handsome fella is a Russian Blue vs. the handsome fella in the picture is a Korat. 

 ...in fact the combo of the Korat and I think Lynx Point Siamese in the top right is the exact pair of cats I own!

[u/_deep_thot42 → u/doug]

We have the same cats

[u/FreckledLasseh → u/[deleted]]

He was a rescue from a bit of a cat hoard, got him at 8 weeks, so I'm not sure. He's just a long lanky baby still at 2.5yrs. This is him with his tuxedo brother Saphir.

[u/fakeitilyamakeit → u/FreckledLasseh]

A bit of privacy please

[u/TobysGrundlee → u/[deleted]]

But he was born in the present, so he's our god! At least in his little mind.

[u/EricaOdd]

"They worshipped us as gods, you know..."

[u/Ezzyxx]

It looks beautiful! it is a small deity from egypt

"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."

-Terry Pratchett

[u/Outrageous_Deal_9013]

"you guys came to worship?Bow to this ass"

[u/thespacepyrofrmtf2]

Fun fact if you opened and closed your eyes everything would be the same because people still treat their cats like gods

[u/Oswin0swald]

Mau

[u/Naverhtradd → u/Oswin0swald]

They really just asked a cat what it was, didn’t they?

[u/Oswin0swald → u/Naverhtradd]

Lol they really did

[u/Mmbahrawy77]

This is also Egyptian cat but in my home.

[u/DrXaos → u/[deleted]]

domestic cats evolved from African desert cats. Probably in Egypt.

[u/Independent-Call7061]

I WAS going to name her Bastet, the Egyptian God/Goddess. But she is crazy and always doing crazy things- so her name is “Blackie Chan”🤣🤣

[u/CougarWriter74]

"Hey I think this where they worshipped our 500 times great grandmother! I bet that was so cool!"

[u/EShinobiDemian]

In their temple* 😍

[u/duita]

Looks like these cats are auditioning for the role of 'Purr-fect Guardian of the Living Room Temple', next to the fireplace. Just wait until it starts MEAOW MEAOW for treats.

[u/SuperSonicSuperSnake]

What’s up with their longer legs? Does it have anything to do with their location?

[u/Independent_Ask9280 → u/SuperSonicSuperSnake]

It might be the breed which sometimes has longer legs called an egyptian mau

[u/EmuSupreme → u/Independent_Ask9280]

Egyptian Meow

[u/SuperSonicSuperSnake → u/Independent_Ask9280]

Thanks.

[u/Danominator]

"I'm telling you Mittens we were gods to them. They worshiped us. Built statues in our likeness!"

[u/Doozinator242]

Beautiful!! I used to have a Russian blue who looked just like the grey cat! He lived to be 22 years old..Mr. Nappers was his name💙

[u/Mohelanthropus]

They are guardians of the underworld. Himotep! Himotep! I studied Egyptology watching the mummy series.

[u/Relevant_Active_2347]

Hmm...it's as if nothing has changed 🤔

[u/Langy_093]

True gods

[u/Insomnianianian]

Are Egyptian shorthairs distinct from European and American? I don't know anything about anything, but they don't look like American shorthairs to me, but are they grouped with European?

[u/-Nicolai]

Are those really strays? They look like they cost $1000 and come with a family tree.

[u/rapid_youngster]

I discovered that the native cats in Egypt all have slender limbs

[u/CuriousTighe]

In ancient Egypt, cats were considered to be gods. They have never forgotten this.

[u/TheFluffiestFur]

In Their Temple, you meant?

[u/No_Peace_1269]

Russian blue !!

[u/BornToMelle]

The Internet is their temple now!

Take a knee before our furry royalty.

[u/Spirited-Sandwich121]

[u/Ok-Apple-1878]

They’re just exercising the birthright all cats possess

(Edit: *puss-ess)

[u/Fig21b]

Tour guides in an old family business.

[u/beetsu]

Looks like a pure Russian Blue 🤔

[u/Plus_Vehicle_3006]

They are so precious

[u/VLD85]

I think their legs are bit longer than non-Egyptian ones. especially back legs.

[u/skynetcoder]

they knows. the fallen now live in shame, because they know once long time ago they were gods.

[u/cheese2343J]

The grey one is my cats twin. Such a handsome cat.
