Egypt: Heh and Hauhet, Deities of infinity and Enternity
Hauhet, as a goddess personifying fire, was shown with the head of a cat.
Hauhet was the feminine to Heh's masculine, more of a representation of duality than an actual goddess, so she was even less of a deity than Heh, and more of an abstract.

 Huh (god) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Egyptian mythology, Huh (also spelled Hu, Hah, or Heh) was the deification of eternity in the Ogdoad, his name itself meaning endlessness, and is not to be confused with the identically named Hu a god in the Ennead system.
As a concept, he was androgynous, his female form being known as Hauhet, which is simply the feminine form of his name.
Like the other concepts in the Ogdoad, his male form was often depicted as a frog, or a frog-headed human, and his female form as a snake or snake-headed human.

 Ogdoad
The 8 gods were central to the creation of the world, and arranged in 4 male-female pairs, each representing a basic aspect of the chaos prior to creation.
Nu and Naunet represented water; Amon and Amaunet were hiddenness; Kuk og Kauket stood for darkness; while eternity was associated with Huh and Hauhet.
In many ways the pair formations may be understood as indicating male and female sides to every concept, the female forms seem not to form any distinct divine category from the male.
