Abstract

Ovim kulturnoanimalističkim radom nastojim predočiti povijesni put mačke od egipatske Bastet, njezine sakralizacije, sve do srednjovjekovne i renesansne vještičje demonizirane mačke. U drevnom Egiptu mačka je slovila kao božanstvo koje je utjelovila mačkoglava
boginja Bastet, no uglavnom navedena je sakralizacija proizlazila iz ekonomskih razloga s obzirom da su mačke bile predatorice miševa i štakora, što je pogodovalo Egiptu kao prijestolnici žita. Danas je mačka jedan od omiljenih kućnih ljubimaca (družbenica) i česta je zoometafora ili protagonistica u književnosti.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this cultural-animalistic paper is to present the historical path of the Egyptian
Bastet cat, from its sacralization, to the Medieval and Renaissance witches demonized cat. In
the ancient Egypt, the cat was a deity that was embodied by the cat-headed goddess Bastet,
but the mainly listed sacralization stemmed from economic reasons since the cats were
predators of mice and rats, which favored Egypt as the capital of crops in general. Today, the
cat is one of the favorite pets (companions) and frequent zoometaphore or protagonist in
literature.
