Cats Can Heal Your Mind and Body



Cats are magical animals and they are far more ‘psychic’ than we realize. 
They protect our homes from negative energies and they are able to sense and see things that we as humans usually cannot.

Ancient Egyptians actually revered the cat as a Goddess. 

From ancient times and even now, cats are thought to be special. 

They tend to have this ability to make us happy with the minimal effort. 

Being around them is a wonderful way to reduce stress and their purring can often help a person get rid of their headache.



These animals seem to know when we are down or hurting. 

If you have a cat that is a bit more independent you have probably noticed that he or she tends to stay by your side when you are upset. 

Many believe that cats can easily predict future as they get to ‘know’ or can easily sense feelings. 

They certainly may not be able to completely protect you from all negativity but can certainly warn you if anything bad is to happen. 

There are times when you might have seen a cat behave weirdly as if something exists around or as if it is playing with something.



It has been observed that cats behave weirdly when they sense an unusual presence around them. 

It is even said that they do not like a place if they sense any negative presence there. 

Ancient Egyptian mythology that cats are blessed with the power to ward away evil spirits.

Happy International Cat Day


Happy International Cat Day! 
This annual celebration on August 8th is a day to show our appreciation and love for cats and their role in our lives. 

As we show love and appreciation for our feline companions we promote animal welfare, and raise awareness about cats

You can show your appreciation for cats by giving your cat extra affection, treats, or playtime. 

You can also donate to an animal shelter, foster a cat, or simply enjoy the company of your feline friends. 




Ancient Egypt is famous for its revered respect of its cats. 

This limestone stela was uncovered at Deir el-Medina, the exclusive village of the workers who dug and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, c 1200 BC.


Here an unidentified couple are shown adoring the divine cats of Atum and Ra, who combine to become Atum-Ra, the god of the setting sun.

Every night, the sun-disc travelled through the dangerous underworld towards its rebirth at dawn.  

One of the challenges it faced was the evil Apep, who took the form of a snake to swallow the sun.

Because cats were known to kill snakes, the cat-god Atum-Ra entered the underworld to destroy Apep and clear the path for the sun.

This wonderful stela is now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.


If you are lucky enough to own a cat, or rather, like us, have a cat that is worshiped, pampered and adored like royalty, give it an extra pat today.
