The Gayer-Anderson Cat is an Ancient Egyptian statue of a cat made out of bronze, from the Late Period, about 664–332 BC. ==Style and detail== The sculpture is known as the Gayer-Anderson cat after Major Robert Grenville Gayer-Anderson who, together with Mary Stout Shaw, donated it to the British Museum.〔(Description of the Gayer-Anderson Cat, British Museum )〕 The statue is a representation of the cat-goddess Bastet. The cat wears jewellery and a protective wedjat amulet. The earrings and nose ring on the statue may not have always belonged to the cat.〔Oakes, Lorna, and Lucia Gahlin.

A copy of the statue is kept in the Gayer-Anderson Museum, located in Cairo.〔(Gayer-Anderson Cat ), Ancient Egypt.co.uk, retrieved 6 December 2014〕
