Though I recently posted an ancient Egyptian cat piece, and wouldn't immediately offer you another, I ran across this item at the Brooklyn Museum website.  This is a bronze coffin for two kittens, the whole measuring only 3" by 2" by 6".  Made during the Late Period (roughly 712-332 BCE), the modeling shows the natural, more informal portrayal of that time.  Look at the one on the right with its big ears, slender tiny legs, wobbly baby body.  Who met the kittens of Egypt when they toddled into paradise?
