About A cat of these colors (tortoiseshell with white) is considered as lucky in Japan :)

HELP!

I'm writing an article about superstitions of bringing good and bad luck by cats. It's a "sudden topic" and I should write it for tomorrow. I would like to ask you to tell me about such superstitions that appear in your contries. I hope I will write something new and interesting thanks to you :) Which cats bring good or bad luck and in what kind of circumstances? :) I collected some data of course (with the poor European - but not British! - black cats crossing the path included), but if there's anything you would like to share with me about this subject in your comments, I will be very grateful :)
And I hope that there is more superstitions about good luck than bad one of course ;)

Actualisation:
I have a deadline till day after tomorrow :D So you may send your info also tomorrow, hehe :D Thanks in advance! ^^

Hmm... it depends on cat, Harry. Some cats really don't care and do their stuff (play or sleep), some just sit and watch, but some are really stressed... Poor them, I think their owners shouldn't bring them to shows when they're all trembling... Well, I saw a few really agressive, they just had enough I guess... Mostly it's OK, but some cats' owners are really stupid... or they bring the cats for thier champion titles or cash for kittens after titled parents. Sad...

Best wishes,
Ania

Haha, nothing is wrong with UK cats of course ;) I meant that I read much that black cats are considered there as lucky, differently that on continental Europe ;)

I think she's rather bored ;)

Yes, some people don't like cats only because of their independence... That's bad - for me, I want to have a friend at home, not a toy or slave that would do everything I want... Well, some people want such.

What's wrong with UK cats Ania?? I think all cats are lucky and that is why they have nine lives. Some regard black cats unlucky if they pass directly in front of them, others say 'lucky black cat'. I just think they are all very lovely sweetie. I see you have a project with cats and that at the time of my writing my comments are too late. I hope you did well with this subject as you are of course the cat queen.
This is a lovely photograph Ania but the subject does have a rather sad kind of expression upon it's pretty face. It is just a little fed up with all the people at the cat show and would probably like to get back to normal . Excellent details and beautiful natural tones. Well done to you my lovely friend. A great big HUUUUUUG and my very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

Walking under a ladder is considered bringing unluck ..
The cat looks " what a boring day, I want to chase mice ! "
be well

For my cats never had bad luck, but if beauty and good vibrations.
The cat is an animal intelligent, independent and never stops at all tame. This is what has made them superstitious. Human ignorance founded the bad reputation of cats, simply because they are always free.
Needless to add, that I love. And the picture is beautiful, my dear Ania.

Malules

Hi Ania, in Turkey we also believe unluck for black cats.(but I know believe it, just a nonsense :) I wrote a BAD word instead of nonsense but UF doesnt accept the bad word :)so you imagine..
This cat is lucky and sleepy, ha ha :) well done sweetie.
I wish you a 'luck' for tomorrow.

Kisses,
İyi geceler,

Yeah, Marcio, she may be bored, it's the cat show ;)

Hehe, yeah, maybe some nice things that happened in my life were because of my cat ;)
Thanks, Marcio :]

Anyway, people believe in different things... And I should know as many of these beliefs as possible... to write a good article ;D

Best wishes,
Ania

Thank you, dear Saad :)
Yeah, your civilisation was better for cats than Western European, I mean the dark ages when cats were killed :(
Proudly for me, cats weren't being killed in Poland, the old saying here says that "to kill a cat is a great shame and dishonour".

Thank you so much for help! And maybe you know some of these Assyrian or Sumerian superstitions??

My best wishes,
Ania

Saad Salem Saad Salem   {K:89003} 5/11/2009
it is not a bad superstitious in my Iraq in general,cause the peoples used it as the only pet inside their houses,other animals have being forbidden as pet by Muslims faith,I mean the dogs,they used only for guarding houses and sheep,but definitely there is something about them in Assyrian and Sumerian civilizations ,
glad to help,even this very little.
Saad.
