Is it true that ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as sacred animals linked to the goddess Bastet?

Yes. Multiple reference sources state that the cat was sacred in ancient Egypt and was worshipped as the goddess Bastet, with Bastet depicted as a cat goddess. Some items only confirm the cat-Bastet association without the worship claim.
