I think plenty of of the Egyptian vases, so often seen & displayed, to be fashioned after the Serval. The felines were kept by the Egyptians.

The animals raised the sun again and again, until it was high enough that all could survive. When the plants and animals first came to earth, they were told to stay awake for seven nights, as in the Cherokee medicine ceremony.

They were given the ability to see at night and so to hunt at night when the others are asleep. The same thing happened to the trees, and only the cedar, pine, spruce, holly and laurel stayed awake all seven nights, which is why they can stay green all year when the others lose their leaves.

On a normal day in ancient Egypt, an Egyptian could be found sometime during the day kneeling in front of a statue or altar, lighting incense and praying to their gods and goddesses. One of them being a feline goddess called Bastet along with many other feline gods and goddesses. The ancient Egyptians held felines in high regards and cared for them greatly.
