There are many legends of witches that have survived to the present day and all of them convey a rather grotesque image of sorceresses, with the classic wart on their nose. Did you know that this wart was understood as a third nipple that was used to suckle cats?
Yes, that's right, these animals were conceived for a long time as the companions of witches, but at other times throughout the history of mankind they were also perceived as authentic Gods.
Few animals are as genuine as the cat and few animals hold as much mystery, there are multiple mystical stories that have our feline friends as protagonists. Do you want to meet them? In this AnimalWised article we talk about the mysticism that surrounds cats
The cat sees everything
We can observe numerous comical behaviors in our cat, but surely, we will also observe strange behaviors, sudden jumps, meows facing a fixed point where apparently there is nothing out of the ordinary…
In ancient Egypt cats were called Miw, which means "see" and statues imitating this animal were made to be placed outside houses, thus,it was believed that the cat could protect the dwelling , because it was capable of perceiving everything.
The figure of the cat was highly venerated in Egypt, so much so that when a feline died it was modified and several days of mourning were decreed, instead, if the death of the feline was not natural but obeyed to mistreatment, the person responsible was sentenced to death.
Cats are not from this planet
There is this fascinating alien cat theory, which seems to have a pretty solid foundation, since while we know dogs are descended from wolves, How do we draw the line cat evolutionary?
It is known that the cat initiated contact with humans in Ancient Egypt, but where were the cats long ago? Today it cannot be concluded with full scientific consensus that cats obey the evolution of another animal, therefore, their sudden appearance in a culture that has already been related on numerous occasions to extraterrestrial life, it makes us think about the possible interstellar origin of these animals.
Cats and their great psychic ability
It is believed that cats capture subtle energies that human beings are not capable of perceiving, both their hearing and their sense of smell, Like their supposed sixth sense, they would make the cat the best animal to perceive strange presences and spirits, and in fact, various studies have been carried out in this regard.
It is also believed that the cat feeds on negative energies and that when it rests for a long period in a corner of the house it is precisely absorbing these energies to transform and eliminate them finally from our home Because of this supposed ability, some people clean tarot cards by rubbing them against their cat's back.
The cat, faithful companion of witches
At the beginning of this article we already mentioned how the cat has been linked to witches since ancient times, especially during medieval times, since cats symbolized the dark and the magical The texts that reveal pagan traditions and that have been preserved to the present day say that once a circle has been formed for a ritual, the cat is the only animal that can enter and leave freely.
It was also believed that witches could turn into cats but that they could also cast spells to transform other human beings into these mysterious felines.
The relationship between witches, cats and the evil has been perpetuated for many years, so much so that today there is still the superstition that crossing paths with a black cat is synonymous with bad luck, however, it is only a superstition, as widespread as it is false.
