I am writing to express my conviction in continuing to serve our society and specifically highlighting the importance of the cat in our community. As you may know, we have continued to have a peaceful existence, thanks to our gods who have always been there to protect us. As a priest of Bastest, I would like to share with you my specific reservations of what the cat means to me, how I find it is critical to our economic existence and how it affects our culture.
Of course, Vizier, in our many interactions I have always tried to express the importance of the cat to our society. In my perspective, I view bast as a source of my protection and happiness.

As a priest of bastess I have extensively studied the cat. It is a gentle creature, caring to its litter, benevolent, and fertile.

However, I should finish off by sharing with you my perception of the role of the cat in the Egyptian culture. In understanding its role, I should first mention the context our people. We have been blessed with the Nile, water may be in abundance some time, but we need good seeds and fertile soils. We are predominantly farmers and mostly surrounded by the harsh deserts and numerous enemies. However, we have always managed to survive thanks to the gods that have always protected us. The Bastess, in its representation of fertility and care, has always inspired our livelihoods. The cat has alleviated asps, rats, snakes and even harmful scorpions from under our feets and kept our world safe. In recognising the importance of the goddess, our society has been decorated with numerous artworks and curvings to express their admiration of the cat.
