Absolutely. The Egyptians had a cat-headed God named Bast. Only the royal family, considered to be deities on earth, were allowed to touch them.

Cats were originally revered because they kept down the mice and other vermin, so they increased the liklihood of a good harvest helped prevent famine. The 'god' status grew from there.
