Herodotus on Cats in Egypt

The Greek historian Herodotus provides an accurate description of the devotion of the ancient Egyptians to cats in Book II of his Histories, but this passage is often cited out of context. Chapters II.66-67 are frequently anthologized without the preceding passage discussing how the Egyptians valued all animals and regarded them as sacred.
