about

"In the Duat, the Egyptian underworld, the hearts of the dead were said to be weighed against her single "Feather of Maat", symbolically representing the concept of Maat, in the Hall of Two Truths. If the heart was found to be lighter or equal in weight to the feather of Maat, the deceased had led a virtuous life and would go on to Aaru. A heart which was unworthy was devoured by the goddess Ammit and its owner condemned to remain in the Duat."

This is about my cat Cousteau's journey to the afterlife. Since cats were held as sacred by Egyptians, I imagine that they may have something to do with where he's at now. I suspect he pulled through.
