Egyptian Goddess Bastet
Bastet is the cat goddess, associated with protection and home. Nubia mentions her when considering the idea of using a cat to frighten Setenet, noting that a cat would drown underwater and then Bastet would curse her. This reference establishes Bastet as a goddess whose protection extends to cats, and harming them would invoke her wrath. Nubia admits to being afraid of cats herself, adding a personal dimension to her reluctance to use this tactic against Setenet.
