When a black cat lives in the house. Signs about cats of different stripes

Coincidences, forebodings, signs... Unexplained phenomena can occur in a variety of situations. A black cat crossed the road and you were late for an important meeting. Even a notorious skeptic will remember a couple of similar stories. Let's talk about what signs and superstitions people associate with a black cat and whether they should be taken seriously.

Belief in fairy tales and superstition is embedded in the subconscious of the Slavic people. Often we hear stories from people how they got into unpleasant situations, not paying attention to signs, ignoring the warnings of fate.

A man goes to work, and a black cat crosses the road - a bad omen. Believe me, the most convinced atheist will cross himself, spit, put a fig in his pocket, take up a button or cross the street to the other side. And all this in the age of high technology.

To believe or not to believe in omens is everyone's business. But still, for what sins the black fluffy fell out of favor, because the color of his coat is nothing more than a dominant gene, which is often found in all breeds of the cat family. There is a belief that the dark forces on Friday the 13th, on the full moon, take the form of a black cat. In the folklore of different countries, a black cat turns into a devil, a brownie. The Japanese believe that he is the reincarnation of an evil creature, a monster with the features of a vampire. Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov in his mystical work "Master Margarita" depicted a black cat Behemoth, which in one person is a werewolf, a demon and a demon.

Although not everything is so bad: the Chinese believe that a black cat will protect the house and owners from evil spirits. And the Finns, in general, do not suspect a black cat in connection with evil spirits, but a gray one.

Black cat in the house: signs

A black cat is preferred by people involved in magic and the occult sciences. So, during the time of the Inquisition, the poor animal fell on the fire along with its owners. And in Ancient Russia, the black color of a cat was preferred, it was believed that with such a color it was better to hunt rodents in the dark.

A black cat in the house has become not only an animal needed in the household, but also a bearer of signs and traditional rites.

• The black cat is a sacrifice. There is an old tradition for a housewarming party to run a cat through the threshold. It is said that the new house sacrifices the oldest member of the family, thus the cat becomes a kind of offering.
• A black cat protects the house (apartment) from thieves and misfortunes. They say that robbers will bypass your house, you will not be afraid of black envy and a bad eye.
• Black cat - for money. For the owner of the house, successful in business, a black cat will bring financial stability and profit.

For losers, a black cat will only aggravate the financial situation. It is possible that troubles will arise in personal life; better give an animal, but not for free, but to give him a pretty penny.

• Black cat - to love. The British are happy to have cats with a black color. It is believed that the mistress of such a cat becomes sexually attractive and should soon marry successfully.
• Black cat is the patron saint of fishermen and sailors. In Scandinavian countries, in the home of fishermen, a black cat is a welcome animal. According to them, she protects during a storm.
• Black cat - to health. A black cat is the owner of powerful energy, it heals its owner. If the animal often lies on the same place on the body, it is possible that a diseased organ is located there. Many psychics recommend that hypertensive patients have a black cat in the house. A session of confidential and friendly communication with an animal will help remove negative energy from a person, calm nerves, and normalize blood pressure.

If a black cat came to you - a positive omen. Let a homeless animal into the house (apartment), it deliberately chose you to become a protection from troubles and bad people.

Urbanization has not bypassed cats with a black color, they live in cities much more than in rural areas. Maybe city dwellers are less superstitious, or because as a result of persecution, black-haired animals have developed a strong immunity to stress, which cannot be avoided in urban realities. If you adopted a black cat in an apartment, then the signs do not differ from those listed above for the house.

A black cat crossed the road - a sign

You go to take an exam, get a job, you have a good deal, and then, out of nowhere, a black cat crossed the road. The sign says that after such a meeting you can return home, there will be no road. But maybe not everything is so bad and there is an opportunity to correct the situation?

If you believe in folk omens, a black cat can bring trouble simply by crossing your path. Psychologists assure that we ourselves create a negative program. And no magic and mysticism! But if you are superstitious, it is better to make a defense, you will calm down - it works.

1. Walk the section of the road that the cat crossed with its back. Confuse the evil forces that, according to popular belief, are capable of transforming into a cat.
2. Cross your middle and index fingers. The cross is a good defense against all the devilry.
3. A well-known method is to spit three times over the left shoulder, turn around 180 ° and calmly move on. Thus, we confuse the evil spirits, showing that they turned in the opposite direction.

Most importantly, you should not offend the animal, it is not to blame for anything.

If the cat came to you from the left side - expect joy, and if it ran across the road - it warned of possible troubles. No wonder they say: "The cat on the left - it will work, if on the right - everything is gone."

Shoot down a black cat - a sign

Many drivers fanatically believe in omens. On the road, they often face dangers associated with death and human tragedies. Therefore, there are driving superstitions that the most daring try not to violate. Hitting a cat is a very bad omen.

The cat is a freedom-loving animal - it walks by itself. Often he pays for his frivolity with his seven lives under the wheels of a car. The driver feels sorry for the unfortunate animal that was under the wheels, and if he is superstitious, then bad forebodings begin to overcome, because the omen does not promise anything good. They say if you hit a black cat - be in trouble!

So, what should you prepare for, and how to avoid trouble:

• The saddest thing is that, having knocked down a cat, one should wait for the next victims - a dog, and possibly a person. The prospect is scary, so try to change your driving behavior. Do not be distracted by phone calls or conversations with fellow travelers. Slow down if there is such a sin. Think about it, maybe a black cat hit on the road is a warning about serious accidents
• If the cat was run over by the car of the newlyweds, then family life will not work out - this is what the sign says. Of course, a cat under the car of the newlyweds is an unpleasant sight, but if you are confident in your feelings, then nothing will prevent you from creating a strong family and coping with all the problems. And if the family does not work out, then you should not blame the unfortunate animal, but you need to look for the problem in yourself.
• If a man is driving, then he should expect trouble from another man, and if a lady, pay attention to the behavior of a husband or friend, it is quite possible that you have a rival.
• A downed black cat without spots indicates that you have enemies who sent a curse or damage. Understand your surroundings.

How to neutralize the negative effect of signs:

• See if the animal is still breathing, and take it to the veterinary clinic.
• Buy a stick of sausage and treat stray cats. By accidentally killing one animal, you have fed and, perhaps, saved another from starvation.
• Take a break from work, especially if it involves driving a car. Park your car in the garage and spend time with your family and pets.
• Pick up a kitten on the street, give him shelter and food, he will not let trouble into your house, and no signs will be terrible for you.

From all that has been said, we can conclude: a black cat in the house does not bode any troubles and cannot be the cause of misfortune. Agree, a cat is a cat, and color is a color. Black cats do not differ in character from cats of other colors, but people, like many centuries ago, believe that they can bring trouble. In shelters and among homeless animals, there are many more cats with black coloration, they are not wanted to be adopted, and they often die because of prejudice. Centuries have passed, but, unfortunately, the times of the persecution of black cats and the superstitions associated with them remain in our subconscious to this day.

What kind of animal is a black cat - its owners will tell you well. They love their pets, and they love them back, thereby destroying the myths that black cats are evil and bring bad luck.

There are many signs about a black cat in the house. The most important sign is known to everyone - popular superstition claims that meeting a black cat on the street is extremely undesirable. A negative situation is when an animal of dark color crosses the road: in this case, it is strongly recommended to change the route abruptly in order to avoid trouble.

However, let's see where this sign came from? How common is it? Has a black cat always been considered a harbinger of bad luck?

A bit of history

The Egyptians respected black cats, even worshiped them. At the same time, a black cat was considered a model of grace and beauty. The people believed that such an animal brings good luck and the mercy of the gods.

The negative image of a black cat arose only in the Middle Ages, when the witch hunt began. During this period, the idea arose that a real witch must have a black cat as a talisman at her disposal. Now we do not believe in witches at all, but we are still afraid of black cats. Most likely, absolutely in vain!

By the way, true folk ideas (for example, the superstitions of the peoples of Southern Europe) claim that a black-colored pet is an excellent amulet for the home. This is a brave, wayward creature that will always protect its owners from any negativity, including evil spirits. It is a graceful black cat that is capable of such feats, and not pampered lazy cats of a light color. And one more sign, this time from the Southern Hemisphere: in Mexico, a black cat is a sign of good luck, not misfortune. So what to believe is your choice!

Representations of our distant ancestors

It is known that the ancient Slavs respected black cats. They were considered not only unsurpassed mousers, but also powerful amulets. These animals were always the first to be let into the new home, so that the cat would make friends with the spirit of the house, the brownie. According to the ideas of our ancestors, in this case, people in the house will live calmly and well, there will be no quarrels and conflicts in the family, the house will be protected from robbers. In addition, such a pet will protect family members from the evil eye and damage. In general, oppose the witches, and not be their ally.

True, there was one negative idea - that a black cat attracts lightning. Therefore, a pet during a thunderstorm was usually let out on the street.

In England, there were the following ideas about black cats: the British believed that a black cat, as an extremely capricious creature, influences its owners, and they become more loving than usual. In general, getting a black cat meant increasing the number of love affairs.

The people considered it a wonderful sign if a black stray cat himself came to the house. In this case, people believed that the animal specifically chose its home in order to protect it from evil forces.

Western Slavs carefully observed where the animal likes to rest. In this place, which was considered especially favorable, they put a crib. In Serbia, for example, it was believed that a black cat has a color reminiscent of the color of mother earth, and therefore can serve as a symbol of the harvest and will help the peasants to get a richer harvest.

And one more superstition: if a young girl gets a black cat, then she will not have problems with fans, she will always be successful with men.

Modern superstitions

Modern signs about black cats are mostly associated with the healing abilities of these animals. It is popularly believed that dark-colored cats have powerful energy, and therefore they can treat their sick owners. To do this, pets themselves lie down on the right place and lie there for the time necessary for healing. Believe it or not - everyone chooses for himself, but many owners of black cats assure that the stories of healing with the help of a pet are true.

Many owners of black cats claim that their pets help not only with a common cold, but also with more serious diseases, such as joint pain, as well as depression, severe mental conditions, and even addictions. The animal is able to support its owner, transfer its energy to him, restore the balance of power, cheer up.

There are also ideas about black cats in Japan: in this country, people consider such an unexpected situation as very favorable when a black cat sneezes. It is urgent to tell him: "Be healthy," and this guarantees you a complete absence of toothache for life.

When you're ready, draw a card:

Why are black cats so afraid? In our culture, the image of a cat and a cat is closely connected with the brownie phenomenon, with the other world of spirits. Freedom-loving, intelligent, capable of night hunting, these pets are associated in people with the dark and mysterious side of the soul. Look at their pupils, constantly contracting and expanding, like the moon with its phases! People endowed cats with the ability to transform and clairvoyance. And gradually in the popular mind they became associated with the forces of evil, with black magic, witches, Satan. A black cat is a symbol of evil in a square: a cat as the personification of cruelty, anger, aggressiveness, deceit and black as an attribute of misfortune and death. This is where all the superstitions and common signs come from, in which these beautiful animals are thought of as helpers of evil spirits seeking to harm a person. In general, a cat is an ancient symbol. Farming peoples treated these animals with special attention, because cats destroyed rodents and saved the harvest. In ancient Egypt, they were deified, they were sacred animals that bring good to people. The Ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess is the goddess of joy, fun and love, female beauty, fertility and the hearth.

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT! The image of a black cat carries the strongest negative semantic load, formed over the centuries and enshrined in culture. This is not a motley chicken, not a red dog, meeting whom you will smile. Such symbols, whether you like it or not, actualize in your unconscious the meanings of threat, evil and misfortune. Fear or anxiety appears, a person is waiting for trouble, loses his confidence. And all because the color of the cat was dark. If you are a sensitive, impressionable, suggestible and emotional person, take steps to avoid negative self-programming for trouble and misfortune.

If a cat crosses my path on the left, what I heard somewhere immediately pops up in my head: “The cat on the left - it will be!” And the day will go just fine. But if it runs to the right, I immediately think: “The cat is on the right - everything is gone!” This means that the scheduled meetings will be disrupted or canceled. The day won't go well. Therefore, passers-by can watch how an adult girl runs to race with cats or persuades them not to cross the road.

2. If a cat crosses the path of a woman, then the direction from left to right is good luck.

On TV, this sign was somehow completely voiced. It is believed that if a black cat crossed the path of a woman from left to right, then this is for money! Like "in the floor" money is flying And to failure only if the cat, on the contrary, ran - from right to left. And for men, the opposite is true: a cat runs from right to left - to money, from left to right - to failure. Now I always add speed if I see that the cat has crossed the road in the right direction so that someone else does not get the money! And after all, what is surprising - a sign worked several times.

3. A black cat crossed the road - fortunately and good luck.

I'm going to take my first session. The lane is quiet, early morning and I'm walking, trembling with fear! And then a cat, black and impudent, crosses my path, I look around in the hope that someone will overtake the thread - figurines! Don't go back! Passed on "five"!

An acquaintance met a black cat at night, on the road, when he was driving home. She crossed his path. He stopped, opened the door, and she jumped into his car. And in front of him, 200 meters from his car, a truck overturned.He took the cat to himself, because she saved his life. I fell in love with her very much, although I could not stand cats.

And I, when a black cat crosses my path, I thank her for good luck) And every time everything goes well!

“They started living with mine, the relationship was not so hot. After 1.5 years, a black kitten nailed to our entrance and followed mine, and then I approved and accepted it. Until now, the cat lives with us (3.5 years), we adore her. And six months ago, I shared this story with one person and they told me that if a kitten is nailed, this is for love. Only then did I analyze our relationship over those years - I gasped, it's true. Mine then became somehow softer, more caring.

“My girlfriend was thrown a black kitten under the door on New Year's Eve. Such a puffball! I called at one in the morning with the question: “To take home or not?” I yelled back, “GO! He will bring happiness! On the second day she met a very pleasant young man.

5. A black cat in a house can heal its inhabitants.

“I don’t know who else, but I’m not afraid of black cats, but rather I respect them. After all, black cats not only bring good luck, but also know how to heal.

6. A black cat living at home keeps its inhabitants from the evil eye and damage.

“I love black cats very much, but we don’t start. We tried several times, but they have not lived with us for more than a year. One was hit by a car, another was stolen, the third fell ill. So no more risk. And interestingly, every time we had some kind of pleasant event after the loss of cats. For some reason, it seems to me that cats took away the evil eye from us.

“And I have a black cat Senya. They called it that because my daughter picked it up in September as an unfortunate dead kitten. Now a handsome fluffy, green-eyed handsome man. And he does not bring us any misfortunes. And he has a tolerable character, and he is not picky about food. As for me, this superstition about black cats is just nonsense. A cat is like a cat. Unless you can see it in the dark. I stumbled more than once."

“A black Sonechka has been living at my house for six years!!! And I see nothing but kindness and affection from her!!! She removes all daytime negativity from me in the evening. And in the morning he escorts me to work to the door, going around my legs several times. And as long as it is, I think that everything will be fine with me!”

7. Individual signs.

Signs, the most faithful and always come true, are most often individual. And their meaning can be anything, the main thing is that a person sees the relationship between events.

And other black cats that cross the road are afraid. My husband, on the contrary, sees a black cat and boldly passes by, clapping his hands: “Money! Money!” He has such a sign that on this day money will surely come to him.

The husband always says that a black cat crossing the road is a very good sign. So things are going to grow! And for some reason I believe him.

IMPORTANT! If you want to protect yourself from evil, be kinder! If you see in a black cat not a symbol or a sign of trouble, but a living being hurrying on business, then misfortunes will bypass you, and your good heart will attract good people and favorable circumstances to you. Unfortunately, black cats and cats themselves suffer the most because of signs.

“I picked up a black kitten a long time ago at the factory. The smartest was the creation. So, because of his suit, a neighbor pursued him. Well, just didn’t let the cat pass! This cat, due to a difficult homeless childhood, simply could not sit at home all the time, he had to be let out into the street, and there his superstitious neighbor was watching for him. In the end, I found a dead cat in a flower bed at the entrance.

“I have a black cat that I picked up after being kicked and spat on by superstitious fellow citizens. I don’t let them out on the street, because the neighbor promised to kill us witches. I’ll stand up for myself, but I feel sorry for the animal. ”

“A black British woman lives with me, a beautiful-clever woman. True, the neighbors periodically chase her, the neighbor's grandmother still strives to kick her. I tell them that she crosses the road for me 327 times a day and nothing. I'm happy to go."

“And I have a black cat, but he is not completely black, but dark brown. But who's going to figure it out! For its color has been beaten more than once. And they beat him with stones and kicked him. Barely went out. Once we were playing badminton with my sister, and the cat was spinning next to us. Now she will run to me, then to her sister. And then a man was riding a bicycle, well, the cat ran across his path. The man began to brake sharply, almost fell. Then he stands and waits for someone to pass, so that he can go further. We laughed and said:
- Man, he is not black, he is chocolate! I still didn’t go, I just stood there until the car passed. Wow, an adult, but with prejudices.

“I had two black cats.
One was picked up on the street by a kitten. How smart she was! I got angry with her once and said that there was no sense in her. And she added, if only she could catch mice. And that's it! I woke up every night to her meow. She caught a mouse and brought it to me. She sat down next to the bed and meowed. I had to turn on the light and say thank you. Say, well done, let's move on and in the same spirit. Then I got tired of getting up in the dark, wandering to the switch. Found another way. Without opening her eyes, she said to her: “Well done!” She rolled over to the other side and fell asleep. She disappeared from us after the death of her father the next day. And the second black kitten was killed by neighbors - drunks. He was born dumb to us. The mouth opened silently. He was also smart. Met my husband after work at the gate. He climbed up his trousers. He sat on his shoulder. So I drove home. Superstitious people killed him. Our neighbors, drunks, began to hallucinate. Someone told them to kill the black cat and everything will pass. They chose the moment and scored with a piece of pipe.

During the last breath, I saw how a haze came out of her mouth, about 10 cm in length. 09/28/2011 adopted another cat, but she mysteriously disappeared from the apartment a year later. I thought it fell from the 3rd floor. no matter how much I searched for it, there was not even a trace. I was very worried and decided to take another kitten. Chose only from the street. But nobody liked it. Once, on a bench near the entrance, the boys were playing with a kitten, very much like my first cat. Even my heart skipped a beat. She asked where she was from, they answered that she was sitting on a bench at the entrance. I took her to myself. How much love and energy emanated from her, it cannot be expressed in words. But she had a sick pancreas. She signaled me so many times, but I didn't hear her. Today I got euthanasia. My grief has no limit. I'll wait for her to come back to me again .. Does anyone believe in this?
