Black, red or white cat: signs and superstitions about pets

The house in which the black cat lives is protected from evil spirits. The pet protects its owners from the evil eye, damage and thieves. Particularly lucky is a stray cat who asked to be taken into the house. This means that no harm will happen to this home.

A ginger cat is in the house - fortunately, says an old sign. Red pets are the best rodent hunters. They were also valued for their healing properties - they were treated for diseases and addictions.

Unlike black cats, white cats have always been revered by people. It is a symbol of purity and light, as well as an attribute of luxury.

Black cat in the house - signs

Before the Inquisition in Europe, a black cat was considered a companion of prosperity. Keeping dark-colored cats improved crop yields. And single girls got a black cat to meet their betrothed.

Ancient signs and customs associated with the black cat:

Medieval monks believed that demons came to them in the form of black cats.
In Rus', during a thunderstorm, a dark pet was released from the house. It was believed that it attracts lightning.
Western Slavs placed a crib in the place where the cat liked to rest. This place was considered blessed.
A popular sign is to be the first to let a furry pet into the house. But in order to protect the house from dark forces and robbers, our ancestors first let in a black chicken, and then a black cat.
The villagers believed that a black cat could be exchanged with demons for an irredeemable coin that would never disappear from one’s pocket.
In England, it is customary for brides to kiss black cats on their wedding day to strengthen their marriage. Sometimes girls secretly asked their girlfriends to throw them a dark kitten along the way.
In America, it is customary to let a stray animal into the house so that it brings happiness inside at the tip of its tail.
In Japan, it has been known since ancient times that meeting a black cat is good luck.

The prejudice that black cats bring bad luck appeared in the Middle Ages, during witch hunts. Then red-haired women, furry pets, as well as scientists, healers and all those whom the church considered heretics were at risk.

Black cats and beliefs

Even in ancient times, it was black cats that were considered companions and helpers of evil spirits, and today some people think that such a pet will bring troubles and misfortunes with it when it comes into the house. This is a mistake, since a black cat in a home can give its owner great luck and prosperity.

Cats are black in color, and the exact existing superstitions concerning it are created through the long residence of cats with people. Cats were the first to enter a new house - this protected the household from the fact that the oldest member of the family could become a victim of the new home. In addition, according to many signs, a black cat protects a home from robbers. The most pleasant superstition is that if a black cat came to your house and asked to live, this means that she herself wants to protect you from evil and grief.

Red cat in the house - signs

It has long been noted that fiery color lifts the mood and overcomes apathy. The secret of red pets lies in the fiery aura that matches the bright color. It feels warm, friendly and associated with gold.

In ancient times, people got rid of migraines, pressure and loss of strength by stroking a ginger cat. Sometimes cats came to the bed where the patient was suffering, and relief from the torment came.

Signs associated with ginger cats:

the animal sneezed - to inclement weather;
sneezed three times - to illness;
the red pet left home - happiness went with him;
a cat came to an unmarried woman’s house - for a wedding, a cat came - to the children;
an animal meows at a wedding - fortunately for the newlyweds;
when a black and a red kitten are born in a cat's litter, it is customary to give the first one as a gift, and leave the red one at random;
washes himself on the windowsill - “washes” the guests;
In order not to quarrel with the brownie, a red-haired pet should only be taken into the house of a red-haired mistress.

You cannot pay for a red kitten as a gift. It is allowed to give a small coin to the donor, but not a large amount, otherwise the kitten will get lost or run away.

How to adopt a cat

Under no circumstances should an animal be kicked out. He needs to be fed, offered a place to sleep and rest. If you want to leave it, you need to immediately comb it with a new comb. This will immediately position the animal, it will find its place faster.

If you push with your feet, roughly kick out, the prediction will turn over. If it promises happiness, a bad streak will come, money will quickly run out, conflicts will begin at work, and quarrels will begin in the family.

You should immediately choose a name: call different nicknames, whichever one he reacts to will be suitable. In the future, you should gradually accustom him to the rules of living: do not punish if the animal does not immediately get used to the tray, do not push him out of bed.

Attention! Cats are smart representatives of the fauna; they understand not only words, but also intonations.

White cat in the house - signs

White color is the most expensive, and ordinary people could rarely buy a snow-white pet. In Tsarist Russia, aristocrats and daughters of rich landowners carried white kittens with them. They were considered a symbol of purity and innocence.

An old superstition says that you should not drive away a white cat when it comes to your doorstep. Caress her.
In return, the grateful animal will give the sheltering home an atmosphere of comfort and kindness. The white cat does not come just like that: quarrels will disappear, and relations between household members will improve. Other signs:

a white cat sleeps at the feet of a seriously ill person - it’s close to death;
when a pet sleeps at the owner’s feet, the person wakes up rested and cheerful - the animal has cleared the aura of negativity;
when a cat licks its hand, it is a sign that the animal is bored or relieves pain;
a pet that sleeps near a person’s head scares away death that has come too close;
another sign, in which a cat sleeps near the owner’s head, says that the person has a weakened nervous system;
a white pet laying down on a pregnant woman’s stomach - foretells an early birth;
the cat lay on the heart - to prolong youth;
a cat who sleeps on his lap cleanses a person of negativity; when the animal leaves, it cannot be restrained;
white cat on the stomach - problems with the stomach or intestines;
the animal sniffs the owner’s face - it senses illness;
there was a seriously ill woman in the house, and the cat ran away - trying to take death with him.

I recommend getting a white animal for those who often experience stress. Stroking the white fur will calm your nerves and put you in a peaceful mood. Usually animals themselves come to a person when they feel that he needs help.

Practical research of folk signs

What color to choose a kitten

According to popular belief, the color of a kitten will change the life of its owners for the better. More about the meaning of color:

gray is the color of stability and balance;
black – hidden possibilities, clairvoyance, lunar energy;
red is a solar sign of warmth, comfort and happiness;
white – healing, white magic.

Black

The most ominous sign that has been preserved since ancient times is a black cat that crossed the road. In ancient times, it was believed that in this way the animal warned a person of danger. Over time, the meaning of this sign became distorted - the animal became not a harbinger of trouble, but a source.

This prejudice is still popular in society. To ward off trouble, people knock on wood, spit over their shoulders or grab a button, wanting to protect themselves from misfortune in the form of a stray cat.

Ginger

Red, red and all shades of brown are symbols of happiness, wealth and protection. The ginger cat is a homebody, he does not tolerate moving well and makes friends with the brownie.

Ginger cats and cats are children's companions. According to popular belief, fiery-colored pets help parents establish contact with disobedient children.

Grey

Gray is considered an inconspicuous color. But the true meaning of gray is resilience in the face of life's adversities. In Europe, it is still customary to give a gray kitten as a wedding gift. This is done for the well-being of the young family and with parting words to survive adversity.

In alchemy, the color gray symbolizes metals and durable alloys. Therefore, a gray kitten is a wish for the spouses to have strong love and a long life together.

White

A white pet is an attribute of a white magician and healer. The aura of a white cat cleanses the home of negative vibrations and calms the nerves of household members.

Here's my advice - never chase away or hit your pet, especially if it's white. The fragile aura of a white cat is vulnerable to evil spirits and needs protection, especially at night.

Tricolor, bicolor, spots, stripes

Three-colored favorites are suitable for those who have not decided what exactly they want to enhance in the aura of their home: happiness, comfort or mutual understanding. Two-colored pets are considered protective animals; they give protection and attract financial well-being to the home.

In fact, tricolor and bicolor contain four colors. They appear at the genetic level, but are not always visible on the coat.

Tricolor cats are popularly considered sources of good luck, wealth and harmony. Each color adds a certain aspect to the animal's aura:

Black – protection from evil spirits and treacherous people.
Red – love and sunny joy.
White – healing from emotional wounds and peace.
Gray – wisdom and stability on the path to harmony.

Signs say that a person will receive good news when a motley cat reaches out to him. If a multi-colored cat washes itself against its grain, then expect bad weather.

What did our ancestors say about cats?

If a cat wants your attention, you need to give it to her, this will give you happiness and prosperity. There is no need to drive the animal away - this is how you drive success away from yourself. You should not pour water on your cat - this is a sign of shortening your own life.

A cat sneezing in the house predicts that it will soon rain or snow, and if a black cat sneezes next to the bride, she will be very happy in her marriage. Even if a black cat sneezes just next to a couple in love, this promises them strong love and happiness in the relationship. A cat meowing right during a wedding or approaching the altar means a short and dysfunctional family life.

A wonderful sign about cats is an animal picked up from the street. Cats have a connection with the afterlife, so taking a hungry kitten from the street will bring you great luck and a long life. Few people know that even just by feeding a cat on the street, you will make the afterlife of your deceased relatives better. Cats always respond kindly to kindness.

The next “cat” sign is that the ancestors would put them in the cradle of small children, let them sit there, and only then put the child there. This way they ensured him a good sleep. This ritual was observed once - before the child had to go to a new bed for the first time. If the cat did not want to stay in it at all, it means that the cradle is in the wrong place and you need to move it, preferably closer to where the pet sleeps.

Summarize

The color of the coat is not important if you have a warm relationship with your pet. The animal must be fed, washed and provided with everything necessary. In this case, the cat will repay the owner with love and affection. Here's another nice video:

The importance of a pet's color scheme

In ancient times, people paid much more attention to how a pet, a cat, was colored. White pets were especially valued in homes. The signs that tell about a white cat indicate that such a pet can overcome many obstacles in its path.

It is believed that a cat or a white cat has the effect of psychotherapy. Stroking white animals has a calming effect on everyone and can help to collect thoughts.

Also, our ancestors noticed that if a white cat or cat began to show special attention to any part of the body, then this sign may indicate the presence of a disease in a person in this part of the body. In ancient times, people did not have advanced medical diagnostic devices and treatments. Local healers could not always treat people accurately and on time. And if a white cat immediately pointed to a sore spot, then this could mean his attempts to cure the sore. It was the white cat that had the ability to identify the sources of the disease, as well as magically and energetically influence its treatment.

How to cancel a bad omen

If a white fluffy lump crossed your path at night, and you consider yourself to be a suspicious person and do not want to take risks:

Grasp the button.
Hold on to something iron.
Cross your fingers.
Break the first twig you come across in two and throw the halves in different directions away from you. The signs say: you have broken the “cat’s path” and can go wherever you want without fear.
Turn 360 degrees in place. It is believed that after this you have started a new path that the cat has not yet had time to cross.
Finally, wait for someone less superstitious to cross the cat's path.

Everything is relative. For example, in England, not so far from us, white cats are not liked, but black cats are welcomed as if they were their own! Which once again proves: it doesn’t matter what the signs mean, what matters is how we ourselves relate to them.
