The most interesting aspects for me in ancient Egypt have always been mummies and mummification (a document I once saw where they mummified a present-day human was lovely, but also slightly revolting), so it wasn't a surprise the particular chapter concerning that was my favourite. Although it was pretty short, so I was left wondering whether there might be even more information available on cat mummies and their burial. Still, I'd recommend this for both cat and history lovers. The formation of Egyptian society is briefly recounted at the beginning. To get a proper context of the importance of cats in religion and art, their basics are also useful for those not familiar with these concepts in Egyptian style.
