This is literally me ^^^^^
So this week I decided to look into the mythology surrounding the best four-legged creature in the universe, the cat. As we all know, cats in Ancient Egyptian culture were worshipped and associated with goddesses and the feminine. Apparently the punishment for killing a cat was death (as it should be).
In Japan and China manekineko (fortune cat) statues bring good luck and attract customers in restaurants. Myths about manekineko tell of the cat saving people, leading to them erecting cat statues in his honor.
One of my favorite myths surrounding cats is that they are associated with witches (especially black cats). When a witch is with her cat, it makes her magic even stronger. In Norse mythology, the goddess Freya had her chariot pulled by two cats given to her by her brother Thor.
As an animal lover and vegetarian I love all animals on all this planet. But cats will always, always be my favorite. Honestly, I believe everything in the myths about cats to be true; cats are divine, magical creatures!
