Lily and Buster discuss the divine role of cats in ancient Egyptian culture, from their association with the goddess Bastet to their protection under strict laws.

Along the way, Buster adds humor, imagining contemporary feline laws and debating Cleopatra’s potential as history's first "cat meme" creator.
