Los GATOS ATRAEN la BUENA SUERTE 🍀🐈✨

From north to south and from east to west, there are a ton of stories and legends that prove that our cats bring good luck. Hi, I'm Carlos and I'm a veterinarian and this is Alchofo. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. I'm sure you'll love today's topic. It's a fresh summary topic about our feline companions. We're always tired of talking about dark legends and false myths and things like that that are told about our cats that give society a very bad image of them. So today, and to serve as a precedent, I'm going to bring you a ton of reasons why it's said that our feline companions bring good luck. But first, if you want to help us continue making these types of videos and keep the channel going, remember that you have to subscribe to the channel, give the video a lot of love, give us a like, and if you want to support us a lot, a lot, give us a super thank you. Our cats whiskers are real amulets. Mind you, many people consider them to be so. In fact, when their feline companion loses a whisker, because cats can also lose this type of hair, they keep it as if it were a real treasure. In addition, many people use cats whiskers to make jewelry amulets, which can even be purchased online. And what could be the reason for all this? Well, look, I'm not a superstitious person. In fact, I consider myself quite a scientist. But it is true that cats have very, very important elements in their whiskers for their survival. So we can say that for them, they are an element that brings them luck. Cats whiskers are sensitive hairs that help them, for example, detect small changes in the air around them or around their head. And so if an animal tries to hunt them and approaches from behind, they can detect it even before they see it. And perhaps because of the shape they give to their heads, that slightly mysterious air they give to cats in general, some people attribute these types of, well, slightly supernatural qualities to them. So let me know in the comments if you also think that cats whiskers bring good luck, because many of you have told me that this is the case and that you keep them when you see them around the house. Tricolor cats bring good fortune. If you follow the channel, you will have heard me tell you many times that tricolor cats are a little special because in fact, the vast majority of them are female, only a small proportion are male. This is because both the yellow and black colors are associated with the X chromosome. So A female that has two X chromosomes and also the gene for the white color can have three colors. However, since males only have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, on very few occasions can a male be three colors. On top of that, if the cat is male in tricolor, it is even more special and is called a clean filter male or with clean filter syndrome. If you want to know a little more about colors, I'll leave you a very, very interesting video that we made on the channel below. But hey, we. That's not the main topic today. Today we're going to talk about why these cats attract good fortune in Japan. There's a legend that says that tricolor cats represent three different elements of good fortune. On the one hand, the color yellow attracts wealth, well, success in life. The color white represents purity, and the color black wards off evil spirits. But all of this also goes hand in hand with the mannequin figurine, which is this little cat that has its paw up, sometimes moving it, which we're tired of seeing. For example, throughout Japanese culture, this cat also attracts good fortune. Many of them are tricolor, in fact, for the reason I just explained. But then there are different colors because each one theoretically attracts a different positive thing. In any case, the cat on the mannequin is also related to a successful business prosperity in a house, and in fact, what it holds as a coin, as a symbol of economic prosperity. But leaving aside the subject of the mannequin, Japanese sailors, traditional ancient sailors, also mounted tricolor cats on their boats because it was assumed that all those good omens that the cat attracted were also capable of scaring away storms and making their voyages successful. Obviously, all this is part of an ancestral wisdom that over the years has become myths, but that I like because they help maintain a positive view of cats and society. Cats and Feng Shui, the perfect combination. Look, we're not going to leave the Far east because in China, the philosophy of feng shui helps to organize the homes where we live so that energy flows properly and that this has a positive impact on the people who live in that house. In fact, I don't know if your cat rests in a place that catches your attention and that makes you say, hey, how strange that the cat goes there to get in and always wants to sleep there or lie down or rest, meditate. Well, what cats do when they're not looking out the window, for example. According to this philosophy, our cats could locate specific places where that type of positive energy flows that helps balance the house. Obviously, I don't intend to summarize the entire ancestral philosophy of Feng Shui in this video, and I tend to be much more pragmatic. Well, I mean, the cat decides to rest in that area because it's warmer or because in the summer there's a little more sun and that's why it likes it more. Or simply because you're close by and your cat loves having you around too. Well, tell you, hey, human, I'm here with you. Give me a little affection. But I won't deny that I love that there are philosophies and theories, especially if they're very, very old, that relate our cats to positive energy. And above all, if you see that your cat always rests in a certain area at home and you can't find any explanation for it, consider that there's really good energy in your home. Come on. The best. And I'm also interested in experts on the subject, who I'm sure among all my followers and also among my followers, tell me in the comments if this is true, because the truth is that I'm passionate about this subject. Cats always land on their feet. Hey, you've probably been waiting for me to talk about this. Although if you follow us on the channel, I've already told you something about this topic in other videos. But anyway, it's actually a synonym for good luck that has been used in language. Hey, when we talk about a person falling on their feet, it means that they've been lucky in a situation that was, well, unfavorable for that person, right? Well, it's true that our cats have a great ability to turn around, reposition themselves, and put their paws down when they're falling from a height, especially if they have time to do that at that height. It's called the righting reflex. It can be an advantage, of course, if your cat is up a tree and suddenly a branch breaks, it's possible that on a fairly soft bed and from a not very great height, that will help the cat not get hit badly. But it's also somewhat dangerous to repeat this idea that cats always fall on their feet and that's why nothing happens to them. Because when our cat falls out of our window or balcony, even if it can turn around and land on its paws, it will receive a great impact. It could fracture its paws or even be fatal for it. If we let our cat enjoy a little bit of the outdoors by letting it go out to the window or balcony, we always have to do so in safe conditions, putting nets, mesh, or mosquito nets on it to prevent our cat from falling for Example, while chasing a bird. So even though our cats are very lucky to be able to do these types of acrobatics, we have to be very, very responsible to prevent accidents at home related to windows or balconies. Black cats and the story that no one has told you'd. Some time ago, I told you why black cats are associated with witchcraft and even with the afterlife according to ancient legends that have been told in Europe. Well, in ancient Europe. Let's go. In fact, if you are interested in learning a little more about this topic and why they are associated with the theme of Halloween, I have left the video link below, which is very, very interesting. But of course, in that video, in the messages, many people told me that in your area, black cats are associated with good luck, unlike in many countries around the world. And so I started investigating. For example, in Japan, there is a legend that speaks of a black cat as the protector of a samurai. It is called the kuro neko, literally the black cat. The story goes that one night during a great storm, when the life of that samurai was in grave danger, he suddenly found a black cat in the forest. And the black cat, when it saw that the samurai's life probably would not be able to continue after that night, accompanied him and guided him under a hollow tree where the samurai was able to take refuge and thus survive. That's why in Japan, the color black in cats is associated with good fortune and with warding off evil spirits. As I said before, there are other stories, for example, in Scottish folklore, where it is said that if a black cat that you don't know comes to your door, it is a sign of good luck and that it will bring you fortune and prosperity. So I didn't want to miss the opportunity in this video to talk nicely about black cats, because many times we dwell on the fact that black cats bring bad luck, that they are associated with witchcraft. And that makes it very difficult to adopt these types of cats from shelters. So almost always the last ones left behind, the poor things, the ones who almost never have the chance to find a family, are these adorable little panthers. So it's time to talk nicely about them in an online video. I wanted to use this video for that. Cats Cleanse us of bad energy. Hey, there are some people who are a little superstitious and say that when their cat is grooming itself, it is actually cleaning not only its fur, but it is also getting rid of all those bad spirits and negative energies that may surround it. In the same way, if when your cat is on the couch, Having a spa session, you approach it. Sometimes your feline companion may give you a lick. Then those same people say, hey, my cat is also cleaning my aura, and that will undoubtedly bring me good fortune. And hey, I honestly don't know if this is true or not. I don't want to get into that. But I have to tell you that you are incredibly lucky if your cat licks you from time to time. Aside from there being some substance on your skin that tastes good to your feline companion, well, I don't know, because you've been around food and your hands taste like it. When our cats groom us, they are telling us something very important, which is that their relationship with their favorite human companion is going through a good time. Cats use licking and grooming as a way of communicating that the living beings around them are part of the same social group as them. So if your feline companion is confident enough to groom you from time to time, then you know that they consider you a very important part of the environment in which they live and probably see you as a provider of food, security, resting areas, and all those resources that our cats need. Another thing is that in nature, the cat that grooms is usually the dominant one. Does this mean that your cat sees you as a living being that has to obey them in everything? Well, I don't know about that either, but of course your cat is the king of your house, and perhaps they are letting you know it. And with today's video, I wanted to show you that if you dig a little bit, you can find a lot of beautiful stories about our cats. Legends and myths that make you see them as bearers of good omens and good fortune. And what about your cat? Has it ever brought good luck to your home? Well, let me know in the comments so I can find out. And that way we can also help spread this positive image of our cats.

Don't leave yet because we have to meet this handsome guy named Gray. And when they sent us the photo, he was 13 years old. He was rescued by his human partner Mariella in New Jersey.

I bring you many reasons why they say that. I bring you many, as I said before. But if this is not for you, it's drinking water, okay? And in fact, when a mustache falls off their feline companion, they treasure it and keep it. Obviously, that is part of a popular thing. Like when they didn't ship redheads. And now they ship redheads. Jokes aside, you have to not joke aside. As I told you, if your cat licks you, I'm going to throw a cushion at your head. Have you spoken to the union about your labor rights? I found the word union funny. It's very funny. A very nice play on words.
