The Coffin of The She-Cat
of Crown Prince Thutmose ("Thutmose V")
This cat's coffin, possibly a canopic box (Reisner and Abd-Ul-Rahman 1967: 392), reflects the few indicators we have of the ancient Egyptians' love of cats. Crown Prince Thutmose, the eldest son of Amenhotep III, had this coffin duly prepared for his pet cat upon her death. Her name was apparently "tA-miAt", meaning "The Cat (feminine)." As a means of shorthand, many Egyptologists render the cat's name as either "Ta-Miaut" or "The She-Cat." Here, both terms are used.
Found near Mit Rahineh in 1892, the "coffin" for The She-Cat is made of white limestone and is 0.64m H x 0.44m W x 0.648m long (25.2" H x 17.32" W x 25.5" L). First published by Daressy in 1893, and published more in detail by Borchardt in 1907, the coffin can be described as an oblong box, with no cleats on the bottom, with a hollow lid consisting of 2 rectangular ends and a 3-sided roof.
