Bastet was the daughter of Ra or Atom, but the mother was Hathor OR Tefnut, in the tombs Bastet is considered as the king's mother who had to help and protect to eternal life, so Bastet is mentioned in the Texts Pyramids and the Book of the Dead, then she plays an important role in the religion of the ancient Egyptians
The center of worship of the goddess Bastet was the city Bubastis in the northern Egypt,in which have been found there hundreds of mummified cats buried in tombs dedicating memory for Bastet because before they took alive these cats as sacred symbols in temples of the goddess Bastet and when they died they were carefully mummified.
The ancient Egyptians considered cats as manifestations of the goddess Bastet, and according to legend the Egyptians had to surrender to the Persians because they held cats against their shields, and that the Persians knew that the Egyptians could surrender not to fight a cat not even with the enemy, so the Egyptians lost Pelusium City, the current Portsaid
In honor of the goddess Bastet in Bubastis their worship area, it was a party called, the "Festival of Drunkenness," where they drank wine in abundance, dancing and playing music instruments. This festival is made to the goddess Bastet happy to keep her happy and satisfied, and thus would not have her Bastet hungry look of the lioness that could hurt people
