For what reason did ancient Egyptians shave off their eyebrows?
Answer: To mourn the death of their cats
Cats were often worshipped by ancient Egyptians and considered as family members. A family’s feline pet was often mourned by the entire family and received a ritualistic burial. They buried the mummified cat’s body with a supply of milk, mice and any other items that the animal may need in its afterlife. Cats hunted vermin and insects that threatened the food supply and many believed them the associates of deities. Source: WiseGeek.com
