Have you ever found that cats with pure black hair are less than pure white cats?
The probability of seeing a pure white cat in our daily life is about three in a thousand, and the world's pure white cat is only 2% to 5% in the cat world, but there are still many shovelers who say that they have pure white cats at home.
But it is rare to have pure black cats, and even many shovelers think that pure black cats are very handsome and special, and they want to raise one, but they can't find where there is a black cat.
There are fewer shovelers who raise black cats, on the one hand, the number of black cats is relatively small, on the other hand, it is the representative meaning behind black cats.
From ancient times to the present, people have always believed that cats are very spiritual and psychic, of which black cats are the most important. So when it comes to raising black cats, this feeling is no longer as simple as raising a pet, as if you want to worship a big god at home.
Regarding the black cat channeling, in the ancient times when the continents were not well informed thousands of years ago, it is not known why unification was reached in the world, and there are different opinions on whether the black cat is evil or to ward off evil. Let's take a look at how outrageous the claims about black cats can be around the world.
In ancient China, black cats are also known as Xuan cats, and black with red is Xuan, that is, the cat's black hair is faintly glowing red. In ancient times, black cats have always been believed to be able to drive away evil spirits, suppress evil spirits, and ward off evil spirits, yellow-eyed black cats can attract wealth, green-eyed black cats can calm the house, and there is also the saying that evil spirits do not enter the tail of the unicorn.
In the "Ming and Qing Yin Yang Feng Shui Theory", it is written: "Xuan cat, the thing that wards off evil spirits." Easy to place in the south. Suitable for all children and grandchildren. Avoid easy movement. "That is to say, the family has a black cat, it should be kept at the door (easy to place in the south, in ancient times people built houses with the gate open to the south), which can protect the family and future generations."
Black cats in ancient China have always been the image of beasts that drive away evil spirits, but in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they gradually have different voices, and some people think that black cats are related to evil spirits and can attract evil spirits, which is unknown. Later, the claim about the black cat was mixed, but the impression that the black cat had a spirituality was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is generally believed that the earliest domestic cats came from ancient Egypt, and the cat culture of ancient Egypt is also full of mysteries. In ancient Egypt, cats enjoyed a sacred and exalted status, while black cats were gods in charge of death and could drive away evil spirits.
In ancient Egyptian culture, the role of the black cat was to let the resentful people provide for them, and the more malicious the wish, the easier it was to fulfill the wish. But correspondingly, if the wish is fulfilled, the black cat god will receive a certain reward.
Whether the black cat god really has this effect is unknown, but this legend really tells everyone: doing bad things comes at a price!
In the dark Middle Ages of Europe, the black cat experienced an unprecedented catastrophe, it was considered the pet of the witch, and it was considered evil.
In medieval Europe, it was believed that a black cat had nine lives, and when people killed a witch, she would turn into a black cat, because the black cat had nine lives, so the witch could change eight more times.
In 1233, the Pope made it clear that "the black cat is the messenger of the devil, and hell is associated with sin".
Coupled with the epidemic of the Black Death in Europe at that time, people believed that black cats were the source of the spread of the Black Death, so black cats and witches suffered long-term abuse. And the black cat has completely become the representative of evil and Satan in Europe.
However, in modern times, people speculate through historical records that the Black Death at that time should be plague, spread by rats, and black cats inexplicably carried black pots. Even if it weren't for the large number of cats hunted in medieval Europe during the Witch Hunt, the scope and duration of the Black Death might not have been so long, after all, cats were the nemesis of mice.
In England, it is believed that having a black cat is the best gift for a newlywed and a blessing to the bride. If the black cat comes to you and is willing to let you touch its head, it means good luck, and if you touch its tail, it is vice versa;
In Scotland, it is believed that black cats can bring fortune to their owners;
In Italy, it is believed that if a black cat stays in front of the patient's bed, the patient will die;
In Romania, India and North America, it is believed that if a black cat crosses the path you have just taken, then bad luck will come to you;
In Japan, it is believed that single women keeping black cats can bring peach blossom luck;
In Finland, it is believed that black cats can send wandering souls back to the underworld.
In ancient times, when information exchange was blocked, black cats around the world were linked to evil spirits, or because of the characteristics of black cats themselves.
Cats are dexterous animals themselves, while black cats are less likely to be found hiding because of their coat color, especially at night. Cats walk without sound, and their eyes can reflect green light at night, and suddenly appear in front of people, which is easily reminiscent of something like a ghost.
But if the black cat is not given the characteristics of being able to attract evil spirits or exorcism, it is pure superstition. Black cats just have a different coat color from other cats, in fact, there is no difference from other cats. They will also eat cat food, sleep in the sun, lick their hair, and find a shoveler to hug.
The number of pure black cats is so small, it is of course a super lucky thing to encounter. Just raise a black cat, is it necessary to play the game of "finding cats" with cats every day?
