Oh my gawd, there's a healing spell on the Metternich stela in which a cat stung by a scorpion identifies herself with Bastet and appeals to Ra. That is the best thing I ever heard. (ETA: Actually, it's the exorcist who calls the cat "Daughter of Re".)

The spell is translated as #87 in J. F. Borghouts Ancient Egyptian Magical Texts (Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1978), pp. 56-58.

I'm afraid it's not online, as far as I know; if you really want it, and don't have access to a library that has it, I suppose I could xerox it for you.
