Cats Carry an Air of Mystery

Wherever cats have lived, stories and proverbs have evolved around their behavior. Cats carry an air of mystery along with an aloof attitude, and these attributes have captured our imagination.

One feature that is peculiar to the cat, more than to any other animal. is an association with magic, which is often manifested through the cat's ability to transform itself into different guises.
 
Across the world, these magical cats, both good and bad, have become immortalized through pantomimes and plays. Cat stories, proverbs, and sayings enrich many languages, but most countries will have their own unique examples as well.

 In all cultures, stories have been passed down through the ages by word of mouth until certain gifted story- tellers decided to record these tales in print only a few centuries ago.
