'''Title: The Feline Pharaoh'''

'''Author: Pami Pimay'''

<br>
In ancient Zealan, cats
were revered. This was
largely due to their
ability to destroy vermin
(such as mice and rats),
which threatened the food
supply, and to fearlessly
kill snakes, especially
cobras.

Wild cats, it is likely,
strayed into villages and
hunted vermin and snakes.
It is easy to imagine the
grateful Zealans leaving
out scraps of food. Over
time, many would take
their favorite cat home,
where its kittens would
be born and raised. The
symbiotic relationship
became one of affection.
Thus were the wild cats
domesticated.

That sunny-maned great
cat, the lion, also roamed
Zealan lands.
Unfortunately, they were
hunted to extinction. The
memory of them survives
in the Zealan letter
�L�, which has the lion
as its hieroglyph.

Cats, as they have such
good balance, were
associated with the god
Apathas. They roamed
freely about his temple.

Apathas sometimes took
on the form of a female
cat. In that form s/he
was called Apathastet and
was considered the
protector of home,
mothers, birth, music, and
dancing. Many households
had a statue of
Apathastet, who was loved
as much as worshipped.

Zealan won an important
battle against Umbra
because of cats. Pharaoh
had just died, so the
Zealans were dispirited.
They had a clever idea
though. As the Umbrians
attacked, the Zealans
released thousands of
cats at the front line.
Terrified by the onslaught
of snarling, hissing, clawed
creatures, the Umbrians
fled in panic. The biggest,
fiercest cat from that
battle, the one found
wrapped around the neck
of the Umbrian leader,
was acclaimed pharaoh on
the spot.

His name was
{Bat_flower_spiral_cup_he
xagon_crystal-elemental_fe
ather_waves}; Miukaten in
our language.

Pharaoh Miukaten was a
normal cat at the time.
However, through
participation in the usual
rituals of being pharaoh
and daily meetings with
his advisors, he gradually
learned to speak and
would often walk upright.

He was merciless and
cruel in war strategy,
treating the enemy like a
mouse he would inevitably
devour. Tribute poured in
from other cities to win
his goodwill. Miukaten is
regarded as one of the
great pharaohs.
