Many thousands of years ago, a man allowed a cat into his home. Since then, this cute mysterious creature with soft paws and bottomless eyes has accompanied people throughout history. Many different signs, beliefs and traditions are associated with cats.
Man has never been able to fully study the mystical nature of these animals. However, the fact that a cat is not a random guest in the house and brings good luck to the owner is a long-established fact.
Why can't you kill?
For most people, killing animals is an unnatural and extremely cruel act.
Why cats should not be killed can be explained from several points of view:
- It has always been common for humans to kill animals: for food, for home improvement, for making clothes and accessories, and simply to demonstrate their superiority. But from a psychological point of view, killing cats is a special kind of cruelty. In our culture, they take the place of a person’s friends, sometimes they are full-fledged family members. There is an opinion that whoever raises his hand against a cat can harm a person. And this is not an unfounded assertion;
- From a scientific point of view, if you destroy cats, the population of mice and rats will certainly increase. And this threatens humanity with serious troubles. History knows many examples when rodents became the cause of famine and terrible epidemics;
- In the religion of Ancient Egypt, cats were deified. Anyone who harmed her would face the death penalty. However, in other religious movements these animals are given a special place. For example, a cat cannot be kicked out of an Orthodox church (unlike a dog), it cannot desecrate the altar with its presence;
- many signs also speak of dire consequences for the one who offended the cat. One of them claims that a person who kills a cat bears the black mark of evil, and for seven years he will be haunted by grief and misfortune.
Why should a cat be the first to enter a new home?
This tradition appeared a long time ago, and it is associated with the ability of cats to absorb negative energy and purify it, passing it through themselves like a filter. If there is bad energy left from the previous owners, the cat will correct this problem by entering the house.
If this is a new building, the pet can drive out the evil spirits that have managed to settle there and come to an agreement with the brownie about the safe residence of the owners.
If your pet starts shitting anywhere
A cat will never behave this way by accident. The owner should try to find out the reason for this behavior of the animal. Perhaps your pet is just jealous or something is bothering him. In any case, you should not punish your pet without understanding what is going on.
It often happens that cats feel negative energy in a certain place or from a specific object . They try to inform the owner about this, attracting his attention.
Numerous stories of cats shitting near a closet with a bad item or ruining the shoes of a guest who did not have the best intentions confirm their ability to sense things that are inaccessible to human perception.
These furry creatures live in parallel in two worlds: our real and astral, the so-called other world. They see what is inaccessible to humans, so people can only trust their pets.
QI theory
Chi theory is one of the most important principles of Feng Shui. "Qi" is a Chinese word meaning spirit, breath, vitality, vital energy, life force. Similar terms exist in other cultures. So, in Japan it is “ki”, in India it is “prana”, in Hawaii it is “mana”, in Western philosophy it is “life force”. In what follows we will use the term "qi". Qi pulsates in all living things, filling them with energy and movement.
In China, qi is called the Cosmic Breath of the Heavenly Dragon. If the energies of space are harmonious, qi is considered favorable. If there is no harmony, qi becomes deadly, turning into its opposite - sha energy. Good feng shui of a certain place depends on how much qi has accumulated in it and how long this place remains a source of favorable energy: in places of constant accumulation of qi, feng shui is favorable, in places where energy becomes obsolete or absorbed, feng shui is bad.
Can it cure a person?
Despite their proud and independent nature, cats have powerful healing abilities. It has long been noted that if a cat has a good relationship with all family members, it will sleep next to the one who is in poorer health.
They feel the negative energy of pain and intuitively choose a place near its source. They perfectly treat inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as insomnia, stress, and nervous disorders.
If a cat lives in a house with a child who has a developmental delay, then its energy helps the child begin to make progress, sometimes completely getting rid of the diagnosis. Of course, this does not happen so quickly, sometimes it takes several years, but the beneficial influence of a furry friend is beyond doubt.
Birds
The bird symbolizes wisdom. They are often used in magical rituals. It is recommended to own a bird for people who suffer from a lack of information in their heads. These creatures will strengthen the information field of your home. However, the energy of birds will be in conflict with a cat or dog; it is impossible to keep them in the same house together.
By keeping a bird together with other animals, you can destroy the harmony of the home aura.
It is especially important to place the cage correctly. According to Feng Shui, the most convenient place for it is on the eastern side of your apartment, since all the good energy of your home accumulates there. The bird will enhance it several times.
Impact on the personal life of the owners
There is a sign that if single women want to get married, it is better not to have a cat, as it scares away men.
This is not entirely true. Indeed, if a cat lives in the house of a lonely mistress (or owner), she becomes attached to a person and begins to be wildly jealous if someone invades her territory.
However, over time, if the animal feels the positive energy of your chosen one, the relationship will gradually improve.
And, conversely, if the person is not yours and his intentions are not entirely good, the pet’s hatred will manifest itself more and more clearly. He can sense something that the mistress (or owner) will not notice and, perhaps, prevent an unhappy marriage.
When a married couple gets a cat, their relationship only becomes stronger. It promotes a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in the family; it seems to glue relationships together, making them more reliable.
Character of red cats
It is believed that the fiery hue leaves an imprint on the character of the pet. Moreover, eye color also matters. The most naughty and active are red cats with green eyes. The brighter the shade, the more patience you have to show when raising your pet.
The animal will demand constant attention, and if it does not receive it, it will begin to spoil things in the house, but more out of boredom than from a desire for revenge. In relationships with a fire cat, the rule of mutual love and care works: the more a person gives, the more he receives. Such pets love to communicate, they have a rich language of gestures and movements, with which they demonstrate a desire to play or ask the owner to stroke their tummy.
What color animal is best to have in an apartment?
A cat is a magical animal and, of course, its color is of no small importance.
Depending on the color, cats have different abilities that can affect the fate of their owners:
- with white paws - brings prosperity to the house;
- A black cat is a powerful amulet against the evil eye, evil spirits and evil spirits. His astral powers are so great that they can even drive a ghost out of the house;
- two-color - doubles happiness and luck in the house where it settles;
- tricolor (spots of different colors are not mixed with each other) - will bring happiness to its owner and protect the house from fire;
- a red cat is the best healer, will improve your health and protect you from serious illnesses;
- tabby cat - helps to tune in to a light positive mood, will bring joy and good luck;
- gray cat - will help owners acquire and maintain physical and internal attractiveness;
- a white cat is a symbol of purity, both externally and in thoughts;
- “tortoiseshell” color (three coat colors are mixed together) – protects family happiness and improves family relationships.
A cat of any color brings positive energy to the house; with its large aura, it improves the energy background of the home and increases the well-being of its owners.
Which place in the house does he choose?
Under no circumstances should a cat be limited in its movement around the house; it will choose the most suitable place for itself. Cats love it to be warm, soft and cozy, so they often like to lie near heat sources in the apartment.
But sometimes cats, completely inexplicably, choose a place in the house where there are no amenities for them, and lie there for a long time. This suggests that there is an accumulation of negative energy in this place, which the cat is trying to neutralize by maintaining the energy balance of the house.
The same thing happens when one of the owners is sick. And these pets are very fond of dark and secluded places, which are so suitable for tracking down “prey”, because no one has canceled their natural hunting instincts.
It is impossible to determine in advance which place in the house a cat will choose for itself. There is no need to rush, you need to give her time to get comfortable, explore the territory and settle into a new place.
Turtles
Although turtles are slow and clumsy, they symbolize movement. It is recommended to keep turtles for those people who strive for new achievements and victories. According to Feng Shui, the turtle is a talisman of good luck. They will give confidence and bring success in any endeavor.
Turtles are long-lived, they promise their owners longevity and wisdom.
Turtles emit exceptionally good energy, but as with other pets, you need to place the aquarium in the right and correct place. Turtles have strong energy and thanks to it they can improve any area in your home: where you place the aquarium is influenced by what you want to achieve. Feng Shui experts say that most turtles live on the north side of the house.
Cats and money
Of course, our pets do not understand anything about finance, but they very well feel the strong energy that envelops all financial processes.
If the owner has financial difficulties and constantly thinks about how to live next, the cat will definitely feel this negativity. She can help you relax, her purring perfectly relieves nervous tension - new thoughts come to mind, and with them sometimes a solution to the problem.
Cats improve your energy levels, and at the same time attract good luck and prosperity. However, if a person does not like cats and gets a pet only for selfish reasons, then nothing will work out. It’s even worse if he then throws the fluffy out onto the street as unnecessary, the troubles will return to him at least threefold.
If a stray kitten has become attached to you on the street, do not drive the animal away, feed it; if it is not possible to take it home, try to find owners for it. The Universe will understand that you are capable of spending resources for a good cause, which means that larger sums can be entrusted to you.
Interesting facts from history
Today, keeping a black cat at home is normal for most. It was once taboo. True, representatives of this color were not always persecuted. When black cats first appeared in Europe, they were highly valued. After all, these animals, brought by the Phoenicians from Egypt, were excellent at catching mice in the dark. Every owner wanted a black cat to live in his house.
Problems began during the Middle Ages. It was the black cat’s ability to successfully hunt at night that became her death sentence. People decided that since an animal can see perfectly in the dark, while remaining unnoticed by others, it means that it is endowed with some kind of superpowers and is an accomplice of evil spirits.
Black cats were stoned to death and burned at the stake. Often together with people, next to whom an animal of this color was seen. Therefore, as soon as the black cat got into the house, the owners were seized with panic.
After all, this threatened them with mortal danger. This is probably where many of the bad omens came from. By the way, even one white hair in the fluffy fur coat could save him from certain death. Only few of the inquisitors bothered to look for them.
Here is another interesting historical fact. It would never even have occurred to the English King Charles the First to throw his black cat into the street. He firmly believed that his pet brought him good luck, and even assigned guards to her. When the cat died of natural causes, the monarch was in despair. Literally the next day he was arrested and executed some time later.
