When an animal leaves home
It happens that a cat that comes into a house or premises lives there for some time and then leaves. Folk signs say that she appeared to ward off misfortune from this house and its residents.
If a pet who has lived there since birth has left the house, this is a negative sign and may indicate:
- a quick disaster if the animal left you due to a bad attitude;
- the imminent death of one of the family members if he was suffering from an incurable disease;
- the imminent death of a departed pet due to his old age.
To mitigate the consequences of this and protect yourself from the onset of troubles, you need to try your best to find the fugitive and bring him back. It is important to change your attitude towards him and create comfortable living conditions for him.
Cats who love their owners rarely stay close to them in their last days. To do this, they choose a dark, secluded place. Therefore, an event such as the death of a pet at home does not bode well.

Why do cats leave home?
A cat that has found its home brings happiness, so what does it mean if the cat leaves home? Such superstitions always have a negative meaning and it does not matter why this happened. If a cat has left its owners, it needs to be found. If this is not done, then misfortune awaits the whole family.
If a cat leaves the house where a sick person is, he will die.
When an animal jumps out of a window, disaster cannot be avoided.
If the cat has left home, he may be very sick. When he leaves his home, the disease cannot be cured. By leaving home, he frees the owners from suffering from his death. Cats prefer to die alone. If a sick animal tries to leave, it should not be restrained.
Why can't you look me in the eye?
Possessing a truly bewitching look, cats frightened people of antiquity, causing fear and prejudice in them. Regardless of whether they were worshiped or driven out of the villages, they tried not to look into their eyes for fear of trouble.
Here are the myths that appeared in ancient times:
- in Ancient Rus' they believed that if you peer closely into the eyes of a furry pet, you can lose your soul and mind;
- the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt bowed their heads when a feline passed by, believing that at that moment he could communicate with the souls of the dead;
- The prejudices of the Middle Ages during the witch hunt also affected these animals, because black cats were accused of magical abilities and were credited with the ability to take life with one glance.
Scientists think differently. They associate an animal’s aggression in response to a gaze with a difference in the structure of the visual apparatus, since, unlike humans, both the main observed object and everything on the periphery are seen clearly. Therefore, the animal has a misunderstanding from the fact that it is being looked at so closely, and this is accompanied by a desire to commit an attack.
Mystical nature of the cat
Cats have always been associated with magic. Their imposing behavior and deep, soulful gaze give them mystery. Observing the habits of domestic predators, people attached special importance to it. Depending on the worldview, time and country, superstitions associated with them may change, but there is one common feature - all signs about cats have a long history.
There is a theory that cats sense the subtle world and, receiving information, warn their owners about upcoming events in a way that is accessible to them. Signs help you learn to understand these signs.
Cats are sensitive to places of strong vibrations and are able to transform the negative energy of geopathogenic places in the home. Thanks to this skill, the home environment becomes cozy and positive.
Towards a change in weather
Increased weather sensitivity allows furry pets to be, in addition to healers, also excellent weather forecasters. This quality is based on the special structure of the inner ear, which subtly responds to environmental changes.
Feeling discomfort associated with fluctuations in atmospheric pressure, the cat diligently rubs its head with its paw, trying to remove them, i.e., washes itself.
Changes in humidity are detected by receptors on the animal's skin, so the cat can easily predict rainy weather. How to understand the signs:
- a cat curled up in a ball or hiding its nose in its tail - a cold snap;
- cleans the fur coat, tail and washes thoroughly - to precipitation;
- asks to drink a lot - the weather will get worse;
- yawning and arching your back - the weather will be good;
- nervous behavior, shuddering in a dream - foresees bad weather;
- chews grass - it will rain soon;
- sneezes - to rain;
- cleans claws on a wall or floor - to the wind and bad weather;
- looking for a warm place or asking to be held in order to sleep - to the cold weather;
- sleeps on his back - summer or warm weather is coming.
Gray cat attracts love
Is there not enough love in the house? Get a gray cat. Individuals with smoky fur accumulate vibrations of love and prosperity, filling the house with happiness and goodness.
If a gray cat crosses the road, this does not bode well, since this shade attracts success and good luck.
Smoky cats get along well with brownies, so when you move into a new apartment with your pet, rest assured that life in the new place will go well. The purr will ward off envy, negativity and black magic from the residents.
