Answer: It would differ only in religious and ritual contexts.

Explanation:

Had the Egyptians worshiped rabbits instead of cats, this would not have significantly affected the history of Egypt. What would be different is the fact that today the religious habits of the ancient Egyptians would look different. Egyptian priests kept cats in temples because they symbolized divinity. Also, Egyptians raised cats, and a tomb with about 80,000 cats was found in the 19th century.
