plot explanation - Why was the mummy afraid of cats - Movies & TV



In the 1999 film The Mummy. Why was the mummy afraid of cats?



I know that they were the guardians of the underworld etc. But what could the house cat that Connor had actually have done?



Or was the Mummy just so knee deep in his superstition that he never actually stopped to realise it was a harmless kitty?



Answer



Egyptians worshipped cats. Cats were deified, were thought to be holy, and the mummy was an unholy undead creature.



I am relatively certain that the movie makers wanted it to be similar to a vampire confronted with a cross, or something to that effect.
