Superstitions and legends about white cats
In most countries there is a belief that meeting a white cat promises good luck. In Ireland, for example, when a white cat crosses the road, they greet it, and if the animal “answers,” then only then will good luck come to the person. But in the UK, if a strange white cat comes into the house, then this means an empty wallet. The cat will leave the house and take money and luck with it.
In Albania, they believe that if a woman pets a white long-haired cat, she will soon become pregnant, and if a man pets the animal, he will gain weight. In the Mediterranean there is a sign that after the birth of a child you need to take a white cat into your home. It will bring the newborn good luck for life and make him a successful person.
When an English woman dreams of a white cat, she should expect a new addition to the family or, as an option, problems with the children. And if in a dream a cat walks ahead of a person along the road, then this means that the spirits of ancestors are warning the person about the wrong path in life. Another interesting belief associated with white purrs. A person who cannot find his soul mate for a long time needs to find seven white kittens in good hands, a woman - cats, and a man - cats.
Bioenergetics specialists advise getting snow-white felines for those people who, due to their duties, constantly encounter negativity. A white cat will cleanse the aura, harmonize relationships, eliminate the evil eye and damage, and cure diseases. Luck will literally follow the one who takes into the house a white kitten nailed to the threshold. And if you treat a stray white cat with sausage or something tasty, the animal will take upon itself all the illnesses of the good person or his relatives.
But not all signs are so bright and joyful. It is believed that a white cat jumping on the bed of a sick person portends a worsening of the disease and may even foreshadow death. In Providence (USA), there lives a gray-white cat named Oscar, who accurately predicts death for nursing home patients. Staff picked up two-year-old Oscar on the street. The cat makes the rounds of the wards together with the doctors and if he sits on the bed or next to it, then the person has only 3-4 hours to live. Relatives of patients in the department for hopeless patients are grateful to the cat that his hint gives them time to say goodbye to their loved one.
In Turkey, cats are loved and revered, but snow-white cats with multi-colored eyes of the rare Turkish Van breed enjoy a special position. Their images and figurines overflow the shops of artisans in the town of Van, and at the entrance to it, tourists are greeted by large paired sculptures. To study these unusual felines, a research center has even been created at Van University.
“A white cat in the house means happiness and success in it.” It doesn’t matter what breed the snow-white pet will be. He is guaranteed to become the best friend for children, a joy for a lonely person, a family favorite and a subject of admiration for guests. You just need to choose the right name for your little happiness, because, as esotericists say, the future of the pet and even its “medicinal” properties depend on this.
