Ancient Egyptian culture draws a lot of attention. It attracts the curiosity of billions of people, and it is not for less: it was the most enduring civilization that has ever existed. But it is that if you are also a cat-addict you will fall in love with the images that decorate the walls of the temples, and with good reason: this animal was sacred to them.

For this reason, if you have just adopted a furry and want to give him a unique name, then we offer you one selection of Egyptian names for cats.
