Bastet

When Bast begins to appear in records, she is depicted as either a fierce lioness or a woman with the head of a lioness. In this age she is associated with the lioness, a fierce hunter in ancient lore, hunting in co-operative groups of related females.
Originally she was viewed as the protector goddess. As protector, she was seen as defender of the mortal rulers, and consequently of Ra , gaining her the titles Lady of Flame and Eye of Ra.
In later depictions Bastet began to be represented as a woman with the head of a cat. The domestic cat also appears as Bastet’s sacred animal.
