WHITE CAT MYTHOLOGY- CRITTER SUNDAY

Everybody wants to be a cat

The friendly white cat is back. Until I know he or she's name I will refer to it as Duchess. Surely a starlet in the making. Can't you just picture Duchess with diamond choker.

I wonder if anyone has found anymore updates on white cat mythology?I found a little more here below

The new ones

Some sailors will not board a ship after a white cat. The cat has to be taken off and board after the sailor.

Dreaming of a white cat talking to you is sign of a new baby.

Saying good morning to a white cat meaning a smiling day. Not saying good morning to a white cat means a crying day. 

White cat passing a white door means ill health is upon you.

n cat lore white cats are a symbol of light and good.
In the UK a white cat crossing your path is considered unlucky.
It America it is considered lucky if a white cat crosses your path.
Also too though in America it is considered unlucky to see a white cat at night
To dream of a white cat is considered a fortuitous omen, a portent of glad tidings, creativity and a contented spritual life.
To kill a white cat leaves your soul to the devil.
A white cat is often considered an angel, say hell0 and they will watch over you.

Unlike the black cat myths, the white cat has little attached to it inmythology. In some versions of the tale of Rapunzel she had 3 white cats to help her spin her hair into a golden ladder for her lover. Unlike the Manx cat and the black cat, the white cat seems to be relatively myth free. Perhaps you know of a white cat myth of superstition in your part of the world?

More manx cat myths to follow.  Just waiting for another Manx cat to pass my way to photograph.

Meaow for now

CRITTERS SUNDAY - WHITE CAT MYTHS

This is the same friendly cat I photographed for Critters Sunday in a previous post. What is it about cats and gutters? Is it the best place to have a good scratch. It must be because this one always seems to be lounging around the gutters of Ramsey along with the black cat I had last week. So we all know about black cat mtyhs, but are there any white cat myths and superstions? Apparently yes there are, but very few.
