MAGIC MONDAY
.
.
Cat’s are magic. Not only for their role in the silly stories as the companion of witches. And not as the symbol in superstition for bad luck. No, they are magic from the begining of their triumphal march around the world.
.
.
Originally cats came from egypt. There they where honored as the incarnation of the goddes BASTET since 3000 B.C. . The greeks who came to egypt tried to buy some of the cats, but the egypts refused to sell holy things. So they stole the cats, brought them to greek and from there cats were going to everywhere on slice earth.
.
.
In europe (the US and other parts of the “new world” weren’t discovered at this time) cats lost their status as holy animals, but most people appreciated the cats for their hunting skills, because the cats bailed the people from mice and rats who were destroing and eating their supplies.
.
.
Later some twolegged bumblebrains claimed that the cats would be the symbol of the pagan relegion, because they came from countries of infidels and the madness begun. They said the eyes which are glowing in darkness are the result of black magic and the kitties would be the companion of the devil and other evildoers.
.
They chased the kitties away and a lot of them were killed by mad humans. The mice and the rats began to rule. The result of this freaking idea was, that the fleas who were sitting on the rats conveyed the plague and a lot of humans died painfully. That’s not THE reason of the plague, but one of the reasons of this epidemic, together with the bad circumstances of life, specially the hygienic disabilities. BTW: the quote: “It’s raining cats and dogs “is origin from 17th/18th century as the streets were dirty and full of dross and they had no sewer systems. In case of heavy showers with following flooding dead animals like dogs&cats were washed through the streets and lanes…
.
That are the facts, now to the fiction:
.
If a black kitty will cross you way from left to right – this day could be a bad day. If a kitty comes from right to left – it could be a lucky day.
If you ask me, while you want to cross the street, you shouldn’t watch for kitties, better watch for trucks or cars, no matter if from left to right or vice versa – or THIS WILL BE A BAD DAY. GUARANTEED.
.
If you plan to move into a new crib you should have a black cat on your side. The kitty should be the first who is entering your new crib. If the black kitty likes your new home, than you can be sure that it is free from ghosts, monsters or bad karma. If the kitty refused to enter your new crib it could be that your new domicile is haunted or has bad vibrations inside.
.
If you will get a visit from a black kitty then this is a sign for upcoming prosperity.
.
.
If you are a sailor you should have a tricolour cat on board – this should bring you good luck.
.
If you plan a wedding you should have a kitty on your guest list. A sneezing kitty in front of the bride will bring good luck for your marriage.
.
.
You can do also magic with kitties: in Russia they say, if you have an unwelcome visitor who should never visit you again, put a hair of a cat in his left shoe, then the invader will never come back to your crib.
.
At last the kitty-oracle: (should be originally from Scotland)
.
You have to be alone in a room, while your kitty is waiting outside. Ask a question which can be answered with “YES” or “NO”. Now call your kitty. If your kitty will come in watch their feet. If she comes with the right paw first in the room, the answer of your question is “NO” – is her left paw the first, the answer is “YES”.
.
HAVE A MAGIC MONDAY ALL






Hi Easy! This is Cody, Dakota’s brother, and since this post is about cats I figured I would stop by. You are preachin’ to the choir my furiend!! OF COURSE cats are “magic!!!” Love, Cody PS: I don’t know about that Sylvester suit you’re wearin’ my furiend…..you look more like a GRAY or LIGHT BROWN kitty to me
hahaha cody, you’re right. and YES! cats are magic – they have the wisdom of the world in their eyes … I’m sure ;o)
Wow……lots of great cat-info here Easy…..Thanks for telling everybody about the magic of kitties. My Mom says I’m magic because I keep her happy and smiling. That’s enough magic for me!! I love Magic Mondays with you Easy because I always find out something SUPER DUPER interesting……….
Kitty Hugs (with some magic added!!), Sammy
haha Sammy, that’s what I said: cats are magic…from every point of view ;o) and a species who is the incarnation of a goddes must be magic….like the puss in boots ;o)
While its true that Egyptians worshipped cars, they also worshipped dung beetles. So I am not impressed, you kitties!!!!
bawhawhaha Rumpy… dung beetles….maybe they are magic too? at least they can roll balls of “you-know-what” who are much larger than the beetles ;o)
I love cats. Great article, so exhaustive:)
Thanks … I think even a dog can write good things about cats ;o)
That is so interesting…and some disturbing history in there. Never knew the origin of “raining cats and dogs” – wow!
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Thanks ;o)… but the reason for the quote was not really empathic of the humans
)
Great information Easy. MOM’s brother is a big Bastet fan. Me not so much. I wonder if it is good luck to chase kitties. That’s all I know to do with them. Well except Bert’s Allred cat. With him I just stare cuz he scares me so much.
Blessings,
Goose
I think it brings not really good luck to chase a kitty – I got a scratch on my nose, mom a bazillion of scratches on her knees and mom’s pant hasn’t survived this adventure ;o)
So I think, it’s more a thingy of bad luck – specially for pants ;o)
I tried the “alone in a room and call kitty” trick. Neither paw came first. She leapt through the door and hooked her claws on my face. “Nice Kitty, pretty Kitty, soft Kitty, bloody Kitty!”
…ahmmm could it be that this kitty was a lion or a tiger?…ok, they are cats too… but maybe you got the answer to your question written?
Beware! Beware! That’s BLACK magic, Easy!!!
~Eva
Oh Eva I think it’s only a black kitty ;o)
Hey cat did you say cat Easy? The only magical thing about cats is how they keep getting away from me. LOL! Have a marvelous magic Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Oh Molly, of course we are dogs and most of us are literally like “dog&cat” – but why? I have no clue … and I think that’s magic too BOL ;o) Have a magic Monday dear Molly ;o)
Cats are evil because they make me itchy and sneeze on purpose.
Oh that’s sad that you are allergic to cats. But otherwise maybe your sneezing brings good luck too?
I am sooooo impressed with your feline knowledge Easy! You got it right too!!!
Thanks Brian – I’ll bet now you are invited for all weddings in your area ;o)
Don’t let that Furball see this..BOL have a wonderful Monday Easy xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
Have a wonderful Monday too – and look into your shoes ;o) specially in the left one ;o)
Spot on Easy – you do know your subjects well!
Thanks – it was a little difficult this time: always if I wrote “cats” I started barking ;o)
Ha ha ha! A bit like the dog version of Tourette’s syndrome
that was a good one…we have soda now on the keyboard ;o)
I never know whether I’m going to be lucky or unlucky because I can’t tell the difference between my left and my right.
hehe…then you are related with my mom… is she now a scotch terrier or are you a human?
Let’s call her a Scottish Terrier. She deserves a promotion.
MOL MOL MOL!
Finally it is confirmed…I AM worth my weight in gold!
Hugs
Madi your BFFF
PS
YOU MAKE A FINE LOOKING FELINE
Absolutely Madi – and more than that…you are the offspring of a goddes ;o)… I will wear this costume till tonight … I want to know if my eyes would glowing too ;o)
Easy, my Purrsonal Favorite is about Siamese cats who have a kinked tail and who have yet another legend. They’re considered auspicious in the Far East, and legend has it that an ancestor of this breed voluntarily kinked it’s tail so as to provide a safe place for the princess’ rings while she was bathing. She used to slide her rings along the cat’s tail, and there was no danger of them being lost, as the kinked tail prevented them from falling.
Kisses
Nellie
Oh that’s a wonderful story Nelly. A princess wouldn’t give her ring to somebody – only to a kitty – because they are trustable… and the Siamese cats have th eir own book, the Tamra Maew ;o)
I love Love Love This Post
magical fun
are You on facebook ? if u are – FIND ME
XXX much love xo
Thanks ;o) sadly I’m not on FB – but I will ask my mom for my own account ;o)
i think you should …………… You have so much joy to share
and i would love to help sharing with your happiness
xx
The good news is that when I’m out with Eko, no cats seem eager to cross by our path!
haha than you have no good luck and no bad luck – very clever … think you have a good timing or what is your secret?
Well, prosperity should be well on it’s way then. I live in a complex and their’s the friendliest black cat (whom I managed to adopt to people who live here) who always greets me on my arrival home and, almost always, from the right, no that I think of it. However, someone out there in the universe seems not to have read this post yet, as the wagon full of gold appears still to be missing. Maybe they’ll read it now and get going on sending it my way.
…hmmm.. that’s a miracle. Maybe you should try to go back out, that you have the black kitty on your left side? (please make a video about and post it BOL)
Hullo! We Purrime Ministerettes are magic especially now that we be leading conclave from tomorrow on!
We shall be smoking either Alaska blackfishie pot for black smoke and great white sharkie cattabis for white smoke!
XXXX
Now that’s what I call magic – I can smell the smoke of the fishies… it makes me hungry
)
First smokies be expected around 8PM Roman Time!
I will hold my nose out of the window ;o)
It black smokey. You smelled it? Alaska blackfishie. As described!
ooooh … I can smell it … think I’m high now ;o)
CATegorically speaking… This post is in a CATegory of its own!!!
hahaha that’s true … a CATegory of it’s own ..CATegorical approved BOL
I agree that kitties are magical
Absolutely – who else has this wonderful eyes ;o)
My kitties are cute, but I think magical is pushing it!
I think all kitties are magic – just for being a kitty ;o)
I agree about watching for the car or truck!
Ps. love your new header, sorry I only just noticed it:-)
Thanks ;o) It’s brandnew, dad did it yesterday – but sadly we couldn’t solve the mail-problem ;o)
I am usually afraid of cats. From the sound of things, they can be very useful. I did not know they did anything except hide under cars and try to kill me. A black cat went from left to right in front of Mom’s car today when we were driving back from the park. Actually it was more gray than black. Actually it went more beside the car than in front. I guess we’re OK.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Oh Cupcake don’t be afraid – you are a dog and no kitty would try to kill you ;o) I think the gray cat is a sign for good luck – maybe you should buy a lottery ticket?
Let’s not forget cats will eat you if you die around them, unlike dogs lol
Oh wow! really? that means we live in a “cat eats dog world”?
Gee……. no-one had much fun in the middle ages did they? Not even the cats and dogs.
Cats are not allowed out of their gardens here so if a black cat crossed our path it would probably be scooped up by the council!
oh that’s bad luck then for the symbol of luck …that’s difficult ;o) but you’re right Zena, even the kings and the princesses had bad times in middle age – but I like their table manners ;o)
You left me chuckling with this magical entry. Cats maybe magic, but they aren’t dogs!
hahaha ok, that’s a very important point BOL
Hope we are worth our weight in gold
Benny & Lily
I think all kitties are worth their weight in gold … and much more ;o)
Gosh, I love my kitties a lot, but I had no idea they had magic! I have made a long list of questions to ask them while I watch their feeties. Now I just need to get them to come when I cal them…this part could be tricky…
…a long list of questions? oh could be difficult…maybe you can make a video for the “answers”? or you can use such a thingy from the olympics, what the humans use for the finish?
Oh, Easy, now it is clear why I haven’t won with your number in the lottery so far: whenever a black cat crossed my way, I turned about for a while (thus he/she crossed the way behind me) without taking into consideration whether he/she came from the left or from the right. What is worse, I’ve moved into my new crib without a black kitty.
In summer, it is sometimes raining earthworms and snails here.
That could be, in case you have a kitty from left to right, you can go back out ;o) Why it rains earthworms and snails on your place? I should send you my chicken, they would like it ;o)
I don’t know why but a great many of earthworms and snails try to cross the asphalt in the woods and along the gardens after heavier rains in every summer. But a lot of them do not survive this adventure.
That must be the paradise for birds and chicken ;o)
I luvluvluv this post Easy!! And your kitty suit is pawsome! Thank you for making black cats purrfect and desirable! I think you may be part cat…MOL!!
Yow Yow Yippee…We iz on our way to da campsite!!!! Me iz libbin da enclosed condo on wheelz!! Fankz Easy you are da BERY BERY BEST!!! Hold on Hitch dix iz gonna be a fun ride!!!!! Love diz travellin’…bye bye Mum!!!
