Limestone sarcophagus of Prince Tuthmosis
A limestone sarcophagus of a mummified cat (Ta-meet or Ta-meut), the private and beloved pet of Prince Thutmose, son of King Amenhotep III, the ninth king of the Eighteenth Dynasty, who was to succeed him on the throne, but died before his father, making his brother Akhenaten the one who ruled. Prince Thutmose loved cats. Upon his death, he willed that his cat be buried with him in a special coffin, and some titles and inscriptions for offerings were engraved on the coffin.
Thutmose was the eldest son of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. His wife was Queen Tiye, his brother was Akhenaten, and his sisters were Set-Amun, Iset, Henutaneb, and Nebetia, and perhaps Becket-Aten.

The high priest of Ptah in Memphis, and the funerary priest of Ptah. Thutmose is known by a relatively small number of things:
