In regions where traditional customs are well preserved, there are rich legends and cultural elements about cats. For example, in some places, it is said that cats kept in the south of the house can protect the house. As well as many places, there are legends or cultural elements involving beckoning cats.

The history of the domestication of cats in the world can be deduced as far back as many years ago, and in ancient times, it is an interesting saying that cats repay their kindness. To this day, in many places, the elderly will still share similar stories to their younger generations, "Although normally lazy, the cat has a grateful heart and will usually repay the kindness of raising it by performing an important deed for the owner who raised it once in its life."

In ancient literature and customs, cats were regarded as one of the animals that valued gratitude

It is said that a free-ranging cat will not die in its own home. Cats have a clear sense of their health, and when they feel their time is coming, these old cats will silently leave the home where they have lived for many years, find a secluded place in the wild, and quietly leave this world. In villages with free-ranging cats, this phenomenon can still be observed today. Domesticated cats, on the other hand, are unable to complete this journey to the end because of space limitations.

Legend has it that before a cat goes on this end journey, it will do one thing for its owner or owner's family to show its kindness. In some places, it is said that the cat will find some money (which is somewhat similar to the claim of a fortune cat), in some places, the legend is that the cat will help find a hidden problem in the house, such as a crack in a pillar or an unsafe place in the roof, and in some places, it is rumored that the cat will help the owner's family find an aunt or daughter-in-law.

Some legends say that the cat will help the owner's family find the daughter-in-law or aunt

Some ancient and modern legends about cats returning favors.

1. Helping the owner's family find some money: Some cats will go digging in the wild and find some gold and silver to dedicate to their owners to repay the kindness of raising them. In modern times, there are some more interesting stories, such as one family's cat that finds or detects coins or loose bills totaling several hundred dollars in the house every year.

Help the owner to find some spare change, or more stable

2. Help the owner's family to find an aunt or daughter-in-law: It is said that some cats are extremely concerned about the marriage of the owner's family, and take it as their mission to "indirectly help the owner's family to continue their offspring". Some cats will go out frequently to look for suitable young men and women, and then through various means, help each other and their owners to match (such as pretending to be injured or acting cute to attract each other, etc.)

3. help find hidden problems at home: for example, the hidden problems of some houses in disrepair for many years. There are also hidden dangers of some pots and pans in the home: some cats will deliberately break some dishes containing excessive lead. Some people have planted plants in their homes that are harmful to humans, and cats will fight to destroy the plants to repay the owner's kindness.

Cats can sense some crises that humans cannot detect

Cats are cute and spiritual animals. From a scientific point of view, cats have a better sense of hearing and smell than humans. So for some people who can not feel the information, cats can have a different discovery.

Be friendly to your cat, and your cat will also report love to its owner, and smart cats will secretly do many things for their owners, such as the most common is to help catch bugs in the home.

So, love your cat and treat it well. It is good not to ask the cat to return the favor, just to do the responsibility of nurturing.
