Since ancient times, cats have been considered respected animals, and among some peoples – sacred. Various magical properties were attributed to them, so years of observing cats gave rise to many signs and superstitions.
The sign about a cat that came into the house can be highlighted in a special way. Most often, this is considered a good sign and promises only good news, but the truth is hidden in the details; you can predict the fate by carefully observing the visiting animal.
Why does someone else's cat come?
Signs that explain what will happen if a strange cat comes into the house exist among different nations, but their meaning is quite similar.
- The ancient Slavs believed that a stray cat was a harbinger of good luck. The owners of the house can expect good news and quick changes for the better.
- Hindus believe that a cat coming into an apartment or house portends an imminent wedding.
- In the USA, cats coming to the doorstep of a house are considered an extremely favorable symbol and promise happiness for household members. Black animals are especially held in high esteem.
- But the Chinese, on the contrary, do not like black cats - they are believed to attract minor troubles or financial difficulties. But even here they prefer not to offend cats and treat them calmly.
Many peoples agree that strange cats that come home can become protectors of homes and owners from evil forces and negative energy.
The reasons for this lie in the fact that cats have been considered since ancient times as animals that subtly sense energy flows and are capable of repelling evil forces.
How to understand the behavior of a visiting cat
If an animal sleeps with its muzzle covered with its paw, it means it will get colder. He sits on the windowsill and looks out the window - warm weather is approaching. Rolling around on the floor - the day promises to be sunny. If the tail fluffs up in winter, it means blizzards. Scraping the floor with a paw means a strong wind, a hurricane.
In addition, the cat senses the approach of natural disasters. Residents of places with increased seismic hazard turn it on to know in advance about an approaching earthquake. On the ship, the animal predicts the coming storm. Feeling the approach of trouble, it begins to rush about, meow, and if there are cubs, it tries to hide them.
The cat sneezed near the bride - the marriage promises to be long and happy. Rubbing against the legs of a pregnant woman means giving birth soon. He washes himself before the guests arrive. Sits on the threshold - does not let evil spirits in. By going to bed at the owner’s head, the pet tries to get rid of negative thoughts; at the feet, it takes away negative energy brought from the street; on the stomach, it relieves pain; in women, it prevents miscarriages. A cat sleeping between a husband and wife takes away negativity towards each other.
Course of events
It is important for home owners not only to pay attention to which cat came home, but also to think through further actions in relation to it.
Under no circumstances should you harm an animal or treat it rudely - it is believed that such an act can keep happiness away from home for a long time. According to popular belief, if a strange cat comes into the house on its own, it is better to give it something to eat and leave it alone for a while - most likely, the animal will eventually leave on its own.
One of the negative interpretations says that if a wounded or sick cat runs into the apartment, it is recommended to provide it with the necessary help and hope that the animal will soon recover, otherwise failures may haunt the family for a long time.
But if a cat comes to a house where there is a person who has been seriously ill for a long time, it is best to leave the pet with you - such a guest symbolizes a speedy recovery.
When a cat visits a family after the death of one of the household members , this is considered a sign that the soul of the deceased misses loved ones and wants to say goodbye. It is worth giving the animal a decent welcome.
The kitten got nailed
A kitten that has found its way to the house can mean an imminent addition to the family. When people have been trying for a long time and unsuccessfully to conceive a child, a long-awaited dream comes true with the arrival of a furry guest. By letting in a homeless child, future parents make it clear that they are ready to take care of their offspring.
In case of illness, the kitten will also play a positive role. On the one hand, it will distract the patient from painful thoughts, on the other hand, according to signs, the cat was sent by higher powers to ward off illness, and possibly death.
The appearance of a kitten in a house where a person has recently died symbolizes news from the deceased, makes it possible in a tragic situation to be distracted by the baby, and it is easier to cope with the loss. By driving him away, a person risks angering the inhabitants of the other world and bringing upon himself troubles and misfortunes.
Cat color
According to folk superstitions, the color of a cat’s fur determines what kind of energy the animal has. This detail may affect the course of further events.
Black
Attitudes towards black cats in different cultures were ambiguous: in some places they were considered companions of witches and they believed that such cats brought misfortune, and in others, on the contrary, they were revered in a special way. The most widespread belief is that a coal-colored cat can become a protector of the house and protect its owners from troubles.
In England there is a belief that if a black cat comes to your doorstep, you can expect quick financial prosperity and fame.
Be that as it may, a black cat comes into the house for a reason - superstitious people are advised to monitor its behavior in order to understand what will happen next.
Redheads
If a red-colored cat comes into your home, you should expect interesting news and the imminent arrival of material benefits. Such cats are considered to be harbingers of good mood and pleasant events.
The arrival of a red purr to owners with hair of the same color is especially favorable - it will be a good sign for them to take the animal under their care.
Cats with green eyes have the strongest energy - if possible, you should never refuse to adopt such a pet.
Gray
A gray cat is a harbinger of good changes in your personal life. For example, in Thailand such animals are given as gifts for weddings so that the newlyweds have a successful relationship.
If a cat of this color comes into your home, you should take a closer look at your immediate environment. Perhaps somewhere nearby there is a person with whom you will be able to connect your destiny in the future. And for married couples, such a cat will become a symbol of strengthening relationships and the emergence of a new passion.
White
Perhaps the most favorable sign is considered to be if a white cat has found its way to the house. This animal is not only a strong protector of the home and owners, but also has the ability to heal from illnesses and cleanse the energy of the room.
The house that the white cat has noticed with attention will not leave for a long time good luck and success.
Tricolor
Cats with tricolor or tortoiseshell fur bring good luck and prosperity to the home. If you give such a guest a generous welcome, you can count on a quick increase in wealth and good news.
In Japan, cats with fur of three colors are considered mystical animals , and in old age, according to legend, they turn into werewolves, so they are never harmed - the Japanese believe that an offended cat will certainly take revenge on its ill-wishers. But for a good attitude, tricolors can repay well and attract great benefits to the family.
If a tricolor cat strays towards the house, under no circumstances should you put it on the threshold without at least a saucer of milk.
How to avoid the consequences predicted in signs
If a cat has found its way to the house, according to popular belief, something bad rarely awaits ahead. If you want to prevent future events or negative consequences, you need to:
- adopt the animal and, if possible, keep it;
- ignore the belief;
- hang an amulet in a visible place to protect your home;
- be more attentive to family, work and life events.
If there are any doubts about how to treat an uninvited visit, you should focus on the best so as not to attract failure.
The meaning of a kitten at the doorstep
Finding a small kitten near your home is a good sign. If the owners are planning to have children, then it is best to take the furry baby for themselves - this promises a good pregnancy and good health for the newborn.
According to the sign, the kitten not only promises the absence of diseases and ailments, but can also help you recover if it lies down near the sore spot.
The cat must choose the owner himself - the one to whom the kitten goes first, he will listen to him in the future.
Fateful predictions
Since ancient times, the cat, through its behavior, predicted a variety of events that could happen in a person’s life. They may turn out to be negative if a black pet crosses the road, or positive if the animal begins to wash itself. In the first case, you should expect troubles, in the second - long-awaited guests.
You may encounter other signs in which cats are the main characters. For example, if a kitten reaches out to its owner, you should expect new acquisitions. Successful completion of the case will be marked by significant benefits.
Did a cat sneeze next to a young couple? The symbol foreshadows an imminent wedding. However, sneezing can also symbolize rain with a possible deterioration in the owner’s health. If a cat strays, a cat comes to your home - good luck will come with the animal. Be sure to shelter your pet and caress it.
If a cat came with kittens
The ancient Egyptians believed that the arrival of a cat family into the house was a magnificent sign indicating that the gods had noticed the owners with their attention.
Modern esotericists are unanimous in the opinion that a cat will never bring her kittens to a place with bad energy, so the appearance of such guests may mean that there is a good and comfortable atmosphere in the home.
It is not considered a favorable sign to lure animals yourself or bring them into the house by force. Fate cannot be deceived; success will only follow if the cat came into the house on its own.
The place where the cat calved
For domestic cats, if they are waiting for a new addition, the owners, as a rule, prepare a cozy place. According to the person, the animal will be comfortable and happy there. But very often cats ignore the nests prepared by caring owners and choose the strangest and most inappropriate places for lambing. The signs are deciphered as follows:
- The cat is very sensitive to the negative energy reigning in the house. Be sure that your home is a standard of calm and harmony if an animal gives birth to kittens in the house. The aura here is positive and calm. There are no negative attacks on your home.
- There is no need to be angry if a cat gives birth to a small child on your bed or in a cradle. The sign explains this fact in such a way that the animal has unlimited trust in its owners. She once again confirms that kind, sympathetic people live in the house.
- A cat has kittens on the bed of a single man - a sign that he will have problems in his personal life.
- The birth occurred on your clothes - great success awaits you in your profession
- If a cat lambs on your property or entrance, the sign indicates good prospects for the future. This applies to health, financial well-being, and relationships within the family. The sign insists that you keep one kitten from this lambing - if there is a black one, then it is black. This way you will maintain well-being and prosperity in your home.
The little bundle will become a powerful talisman of good luck for your family.
Often all these signs remain signs. Still, if a cat lives in the house, you are guaranteed success in all your endeavors. And if an animal comes to you, and even with a litter, rest assured that troubles and illnesses will bypass you.
Monthly value
There are subtleties in interpreting signs depending on what month the furry guest visited:
- if the cat arrived in January , it means that soon new people will appear among the owners who are destined to become close friends;
- the cat visited in February - it’s worth preparing for favorable changes;
- if this happened in March , the owners will experience stormy love experiences;
- the April guest promises pleasant chores that will lead to positive changes in life;
- a cat looking into the house in May warns of imminent financial troubles - in order for the omen not to come true, you need to pet the animal while holding money or a wallet in your hand;
- if a cat came to the house in June , he will bring with him long-awaited peace and relaxation;
- the July visit of a mustachioed guest portends a quick recovery from a serious illness or a surge of new strength and energy, and the owners will be able to find peace of mind;
- a cat arriving in August will become a protector of the home and help avoid problems in the future;
- if the animal came to the doorstep of the house with the onset of September , this indicates the need to rethink a lot, perhaps, to abandon any unnecessary actions;
- a cat that appeared near the house in October warns: there is an ill-wisher in the immediate environment, it is better to pay attention to the behavior of relatives and friends, excessive trust can cause trouble;
- the November guest indicates that you should pay attention to your relationship with your significant other - inattention or lack of sensitivity can lead to quarrels;
- the cat entered the house in December - this means that loved ones may be in danger of trouble from influential people.
You can accurately predict your fate only if you pay careful attention to details. Therefore, it is best not to ignore such moments as the time of arrival of the animal and the characteristics of its behavior.
General signs
When looking to interpret the signs, pay attention to whose cat gave birth in your home and how she behaves.
- It is considered a good omen if a pregnant cat comes to your house. It definitely needs to be left. As popular wisdom says, it brings success and luck in business. If there is a sick person in the house, rest assured that he will soon recover. Someone else's cat gave birth to kittens in your home for a reason - she appeared to ward off future troubles.
- The owners dream of replenishment - a pregnant cat, as the sign says, will help make your dream come true. And the birth of small fluffy balls foreshadows the arrival of children in the house.
- From a room in which energetic chaos reigns, the animal will definitely take the cubs to a safer place. In this case, the sign warns that the young mother felt threatened. This could be evil spirits, damage or negative energy from the owners. They should reconsider their behavior.
- It happens that a cat living in a house gives birth to dead kittens. Owners whose pet has given birth to a non-viable or dead litter need to be wary. The sign warns that trouble will happen in the family. One of the family members may have a serious illness.
The birth occurred before you need to go on a trip - a sign that the trip needs to be postponed.
How to receive an uninvited guest
Beliefs of different peoples, starting from ancient times, practically do not differ in terms of how to deal with a stray cat that comes home. Under no circumstances should you rudely drive an animal away; it is best to treat it with affection and respect.
The Slavs believed that driving a cat out of the yard meant bringing a series of losses and unfavorable events upon the family. The Greeks and Romans did not hurt lost animals - they believed that a good attitude towards cats that came into the house would help them gain the favor of the gods.
If possible, it is recommended that you adopt and care for the animal. The belief says that changes for the better will occur in the house of someone who shelters a stray cat. However, signs warn: under no circumstances should you keep a cat at home by force. If she wants to leave, she must be given complete freedom.
If it becomes obvious that the cat has come for help - for example, if she is sick, injured or trying to give birth, you need to help her as soon as possible, in no case leaving her unattended.
The story of one of our readers Alina R.:
Money has always been my main problem. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the problem is in you, all failures are just a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye or some other bad force.
But who can help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that your whole life is going downhill and passing you by? It’s hard to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 thousand for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight for the better. I couldn’t even imagine that it was possible to earn so much money that some trinket at first glance could have such an impact.
It all started when I ordered my own personal one.
