Muffin

Muffin is Bast's host, an Egyptian Mau. It is unknown how old Muffin is, but Sadie has owned Muffin for six years, during which she was the host for Bast. Carter notes that Muffin never seems to age or grow. She has a gold and black leopard-like coat, gold lamp-like eyes and pointy ears that are too tall for her head. A silver pendant with the symbol of Bast dangles from her collar. In The Red Pyramid, Muffin's life is put in danger when Bast combats Sobek, but Bast sacrifices herself to protect Muffin as well as the Kane siblings. It is unclear if Muffin became Bast's host again upon her resurrection.
