Cat Moon Magazine X 9 Halloween Cat Stories
1. Cleopatra's Cats
Cleopatra is renowned for the cat eyeliner look. This was typically used by ancient Egyptians as a spiritual practice, to ward evil away from the soul, which was though to be seen from the eyes themselves. Cat's eye's are nocturnal & they can seem to glow at night, this could be another reason for the illumination of this body part. The eye is typically thought to be drawn around the outer edges with black kohl & blue minerals especially, such as lapis lazuli- which is known for it's psychic enhancements.
2. Cats in Egypt
In Egypt, cats are and have most always been highly honored and respected. Their iconography can be seen carved into walls, temples and with storylines told in hieroglyphics of the afterworld & spiritual planes. The cat was associated with the Egyptian goddess Bastet, (she was known as Ailuros (Koinē Greek: αἴλουρος "cat").). Highly respected as a totem of beauty & feminine power, both in our world and others. (Oftentimes symbolically seen with three scratches, three lines as well, close by.)
Bastet was worshipped throughout Lower Egypt, (mainly as a lioness goddess,) a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet. She displayed a vicious fierceness and royal like independence that is supernatural in nature. Cat's were thought to see spirits in this religion and in many others, too. She appears Earthly, mostly with blue eyes and outlined features, which depict a sharp innocence & playful nature. She is known to be mischievous, gentle, but also strong.
In another metamorphosis, Wadjet-Bastet, with a lioness head, the solar disk,(sun) and the cobra that represents Wadjet is depicted in sculptures in early Egyptology. This is meant to symbolize the reining powers of the area, and esteem of the chosen animals, which were also treated with great love. The wadjet is apart of the all knowing eye, as well and cat eyes are seen universally throughout ancient civilizations. In fact, there are probably not many who have not worshiped the cat image.
She is seen as defender of the king, and consequently of the sun god, Ra too. Along with other deities such as Hathor, Sekhmet, and Isis, Bastet was associated with the Eye of Ra itself. She has been depicted as fighting the evil snake named Apep, an enemy of Ra. (snakes vs. cats). In addition to her solar connections, sometimes she was called "eye of the moon". (most likely for the nocturnal glare found in the eye.)
There were two main kinds of cats native to ancient Egypt. The jungle cat (Felis chaus) and the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) are both well known breeds. The wild cats had gentler temperament and so were more commonly domesticated. The two species eventually merged creating a new breed which was closely related to the modern Egyptian Mau. Almost every household acquired a cat or cat like item.
3. 9 Lives
“Good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter…” ~Romeo and Juliet Act 3: Scene 1.
No one is quite sure where the exact legend was born, which entails that a cat can die nine times and reanimate, but as far back as Shakespeare, people were mentioning this mystical philosophical property. They are known to be able to survive intense situations, such as falls and other disasters, more so than other animals- so that way they are seen as lucky, instead of unlucky in this numerological order.
Temples dedicated to cats & such goddesses were found to illustrate folkore of cats beyond the typical day to day environment. The belief in cat deities was so widespread, that cat's became one of the most popular pets, eventually. They can survive many climates & situations, but do best when they are helped by their human counterparts & our ancestors wanted us to be aware and always remember them as sacred creatures, in order to ensure their longevity in life.
4. The Black Cat
The black cat is thought to be the most powerful of all cats. This is because they represent evil spirits and are often a favorite familiar to witches and wizards. In places even in the United States, people became so afraid of black cats (Salem Witch trials) that if a woman was seen with one, it was thought she was making pacts with the devil. It was also a superstition, that if one walked under a ladder or crossed your path, surely misfortune would follow you.
The black cat has also been associated with the number 13, as this vibrates with a similar energy and reversely, 31 represents Halloween itself. However, today we know this is all simply untrue and some people view black cats with favor and blessing. Some, however choose to keep their black cats inside around Halloween, because they are so afraid for their safety!
5. Cats in Fairytales
The White Cat is a fairytale written in France in the 1600's.
It is about a king who has three sons and sends his sons out to look for a gift for his fancies.
The one prince stumbles upon a castle, which is completely filled with talking cats.
The queen herself, is the white cat.
Eventually, it is discovered that the cat is actually a human princess who was transformed into her state by fairies.
She eventually regains form and falls in love with him.
Puss in Boots is an Italian & German based fairytale.
This story is about an enchanted cat, who uses his charms to fix his fortunes.
He is left to a son through an inheritance.
Another version was published in 1634 by Giambattista Basile with the title Cagliuso,
and a tale was written in French at the last part of the seventeenth century, as well.
The King of The Cats
(1500's)
(Beware the Cat)
The King of cats is a folktale from the British Isles.
One cold winter night, a woman sat near the fireplace with her big black cat by her side.
The woman and Old Tom, the cat, were waiting for the master of the house to return.
A gravedigger (her husband.) forces the door open, speaking of hearing a cat meowing while he was digging.
He said he experienced this nine times (nine black cats).(with white spots underbelly).
They were carrying a coffin which was covered in black velvet & a crown.
He said all the cats were meowing together in unison!
A green light shone from their eyes and they declared Tim was the dead King of The cats,
where he then ran home to tell his cat this message that Tim was gone & to takeover and then ran away again!
"Tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toldrum's dead." was the message they spoke to him there.
Just when she said that, Tom opened his mouth and he said: "What? Old Tim is dead? That means I'm King of the Cats! " Before Jack and Elizabeth could say another word, Tom leaped up the chimney and disappeared.
It is a well known nursery tale in the Scottish Highlands in the eighteenth century.
Beware the Cat, written in 1553 and first published in 1561, known as the first horror fiction text longer than a short story and possibly the first novella ever published in English, containing two traditional tales about cats, (which appears in its publication; of which "The King of the Cats" is a primary example.)
This version of the cats appears in at least two early Irish tales.
Most likely known, the versions of the Imtheacht na Tromdhaimhe including, a dispute between Senchán Torpéist the bard and king Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin of Connacht, (which tempted the bard first cursing all mice, killing a dozen of them in shame, followed by the cats who should have kept the mice in check;) & in vengeance, the king of the cats, Irusan son of Arusan hunts Senchán down intending to kill him, but is in turn killed by St Kieran.)
6. Cat Aliens
There are thought to be many versions of extraterrestrials morphed into animal species.
Feline Extraterrestrials are one such kind thought to exist.
Similarily, like in mythology, they are often thought to have first been lions before their typical form.
The Felines (the Lion People)
This is also largely entwined with cosmology & Egyptian folklore nowadays.
Lynx (the cat constellation.)
7. Cat Ghost
People see spirit's of their deceased pets all the time!
You can see them for an instant, in a dream or even speaking to you through art & paintings.
Cat's can see it all and are very sensitive to spiritual activity.
They have enhanced psychic abilities and hearing.
When cat's get real scared they stand up, arched, spooked and the hair on the back goes up!
They like to play with feathers & threads!
8. Cat Vampires
Because cats have been associated to resurrection, through various imagery- such as cemeteries (especially under full moons & halloween,).Also, In mummy's tombs and belongings, as well as the physical incarnation of a sexual power, which is also a revitalization of life force as well! (They can be considered demonic in a spiritual form). The way they sway their tails is like a clock telling time!
Cat devil vampires are demons and they can inhabit cat's bodies and they will bite or scratch you if they are possessed or sense evil, perhaps cursing you with a spiritual possession of your own or a sickness. Cat's themselves, can symbolize danger in all forms and have evolved to mostly avoid the day time light and instead are more comfortable with the creatures of the night!
9. Cat Whiskers
The form of a cat is easy to recognize!
Pointing ears,
a wicked grin (Cheshire cat) and maybe the sound of a bell,
wrapped around the neck on a collar, to make a sound when the kitty arrives to the door!
Cat whiskers are lucky too, especially drawn in pairs of threes,
triangular ears (noses) and a smile carved on a pumpkin will ward away all evil at Halloween, especially if you place a candle inside and let it glow!
Witches were widely known to use cat whiskers in ingredients for their Halloween spells!
If you hear a cat screeching,
run away!
