From Quiz Ancient Egypt: The Great Civilization of the Nile
Answer:
Lioness
Bastet (earlier known as Bast), or Ailuros in the ancient Greek religion, was worshipped as the goddess of love, fertility, sex, joy, mystery, magic, music, the sun, and most notably, cats, throughout most of Ancient Egyptian history. At first, she was a lioness god, but as time went on, the cat became her totem animal.
Sekhment, another Egyptian goddess, was considered her alter ego, as she depicted the fighter aspect of Bastet.
