Beloved Egyptian Pets
Discover It: Ancient Egyptians adored animals and kept many of them as pets inside their homes. Cats were the most popular, but families also kept dogs, monkeys, ducks, and even pet gazelles! Cats were so respected that harming one was considered a serious crime, and when a family cat died, everyone in the house shaved off their eyebrows to show their sadness.
Explorer's Note: The Egyptian word for cat was 'miu' — which sounds just like a meow! The Egyptians named the cat after the sound it makes!
Try This: Draw a picture of your own pet or a pet you would love to have, then imagine what an Egyptian child might have named it.
