The Egyptian love of cats is best exemplified by the poignant example of the New Kingdom coffin of The She-Cat, the pet cat of Crown Prince Thutmose, eldest son of Amenhotep III, found in Mit-Rahineh in 1892. Here, the coffin is described from an Egyptological point of view, and provides also a colourful rendering of its glyphs, with translation. (© 2006 Katherine Griffis-Greenberg)
