The Topiary Cat in Egypt - a photo on Flickriver

"Thousands of years ago, ancient Egyptians worshipped cats. Not many know however, that my ancestors, The Topiary Cats of Egypt, were also similarly venerated. As you can see here, this hidden enclave within sight of the pyramids reveals a lush oasis, the home of a magnificent specimen. Cats were said to accompany the Sun God on the descent into the Underworld at dusk every day, so this evening The Topiary Cat is preparing himself for his daily commute." www.facebook.com/topiarycat/
