From the Egyptians to Romans, and from Romans to Celts came the transference of the symbolism of cats. Unanimously, the cat represents the guardian of the Otherworld (or Underworld, depending which texts you apprehend from assorted regions). Stoic, bashful and mysterious, cats fit the bill of Otherworld guardians absolutely well. They keep the secrets of the Otherworld always to themselves, as the gaze with guile upon a world that does not see or accept the depth of their knowledge.

The Celtic Horse

This haunting and fine-looking being represented victory in war. The Celtic pony supernatural being called Epony (from the Gaulish workd ‘epos’ significance pony or the ‘Great Mare’) was understood to accompany the soul of demotions the on its last legs on its most recent and closing journey Ajax's to the ‘Other World’ (Spirits and Gods). She was so abundantly worshipped that the Romans built a temple to her.
