Among pets, cats are considered the most capable weather forecasters. By observing their behavior, you can accurately determine the weather for the next day or two. Of course, you shouldn’t expect your cat to predict the air temperature outside with an accuracy of a degree on the Celsius scale, but it’s quite possible to find out about warming or cooling, an impending thunderstorm or snowstorm! Read more in this article on “Lady. Mail.ru".
Which cats predict the weather?
Knowledgeable people claim that particularly accurate weather forecasts are given by cats that roam freely on the street and only come home to sleep. And it is the position of a sleeping cat that can serve as the very indicator by which one can judge the ambient temperature. Of course, pragmatists may note that cats are independent and independent creatures and they sleep where they want, when they want and how they want. But it's not that simple! To prove it, it is enough for everyone to watch their pet and compare how accurate their habits are, foreshadowing, for example, warming or cooling. And scientists have long found a scientific explanation for some signs.
Towards warming: the cat sleeps with its belly up
When it warms up a little, the cat straightens up a little, its body forms an arc of approximately 270°. If sudden warming is approaching, a sleepy cat takes a semicircle position. In sunny, hot weather, the murka even stretches out, as they say, in line. In such a blissful pose, belly up, paws outstretched, she can even fall apart on the floor in the middle of the room. There is a saying in Russian folklore: if a cat rolls on the floorboards, the warmth is knocking on the house. In addition, the cat “notifies” warm, clear weather when it sits on the windowsill and looks out the window, when it washes itself by smoothing the hair on its head with its paw, and when it lifts its hind paw.
Scientific explanation
. Cats detect fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and changes in humidity much earlier than people, and therefore react to them. In the heat, the activity of thermoregulatory mechanisms in animals increases, which prevent overheating of the body and maintain a relative constancy of body temperature. And when cats lie down on their backs, stretch out, throw their paws and tail to the side, and lie motionless for a long time, then in this way they increase the heat transfer area.
The cat “fell apart” with its belly up - to warming
When it gets colder: the cat curls up into a ball and covers its nose with its paw
Before the onset of frost, a “living barometer” with a mustache begins to look for a higher and warmer place in the house: near a hot radiator (a cat can easily sit on it) or near a burning fireplace (by the way, she sits with her back to the heat source), on a soft sofa among pillows and woolen blankets, on the hands or knees of the owner. It may be cold if in a dream the cat curls up into a tight ball, presses its head and paws to its stomach, covering its muzzle with its tail and its nose with its paw.
Scientific explanation
. Sensing the onset of cold weather, the cat prepares for it in advance: by curling up into a ball, it retains its body heat.

To the wind and blizzard: the cat spins in its sleep, cannot find a place for itself
Often, Murka owners notice that their pet cannot find the “right” position in a dream, either lying on one side or the other. It turns out that the cat spins in its sleep in anticipation of weather changes. The cat begins to actively scratch its claws on the carpet, floor or wall for a reason. She feels that there will be a strong wind and a blizzard. And if the cat raised and fluffed its tail or licked it for a long time, then a snowstorm definitely cannot be avoided. They even say that turning a cat's head while washing shows the direction from which the wind will blow. Before an approaching snowstorm and snowfall, a cat may begin to restlessly run around the apartment and jump on furniture.
Scientific explanation
. Experts explain this phenological ability by the increased sensitivity of the inner ear and eardrums of cats to even minor changes in atmospheric pressure. Just as a person sitting in the cabin of an airplane taking off or taking an elevator to the top floor of a skyscraper feels “congestion” and sound distortion in his ears, so a cat in bad weather experiences discomfort, showing it with all its appearance.
For rain: the cat drinks more than usual
“An attentive observer,” wrote Jonathan Swift, “can predict the hour when a downpour is to be feared: before the rain, the cat becomes thoughtful, stops its pranks and no longer chases its tail.” Before bad weather, a cat that is used to constantly walking will not rush outside. And this is not surprising: with wet fur, a cat will feel defenseless. Staying at home, she will more often approach a bowl of water or drink more than usual, and will not refuse to “pinch” the grown grass at such times. Sensing the approach of rain, Murka can also actively lick its tail, thoroughly wash and rub its ears with its paws. And if a cat sneezed in dry weather, cat lovers in Germany assure you, then, after wishing her health, you should definitely take an umbrella with you when leaving home.
Scientific explanation.
Atmospheric physicist at the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis, Dr. George Freier, explains this “fad” by saying that licking the tail, drinking water and eating grass reduces the tension in the stomach caused by changes in atmospheric pressure.
Feeling the approach of rain, the cat begins to carefully lick its tail and rub its ears with its paws.
Towards natural disasters: cats act very excited
It is known that many animals, with their restless behavior, can warn people about an upcoming earthquake, volcanic eruption or tornado. And in the list of seventy such animals, the first place is taken by the cat (and this is good, because it is always next to humans). Residents of earthquake-prone regions have long noticed that before a strong earthquake, cats behave very excitedly, their fur stands on end, and they press their ears tightly to their heads. Feeling the approach of a catastrophe, cats begin to meow loudly and for no reason, warning the owner about the danger, hide, tremble and ask to go outside. Cats, especially sensitive to seismic warnings, leave home several days before an earthquake.
Scientific explanation
. Scientists explain the unusual insight of cats by the fact that, most likely, they sense earth vibrations that even instruments cannot detect. According to another version, cats react to a sharp increase in static electricity, which always precedes an earthquake.
Who believes in cat predictions?
Japanese sailors, who are kind to cats, believe that they can not only prevent the approach of a storm, but even pacify the elements; in particular, they attribute unique abilities to tortoiseshell and white cats. Finland also takes the phenological abilities of cats very seriously and respectfully. In the town of Lappeenranta, in the east of the country, the Norwegian forest cat Rilly has been playing the role of a living barometer for several years now. She is a multiple winner of the Finnish Meteorology Championship and has beaten frog, sheep and perch in her predictions. These victories allowed her to take the position of full-time weather forecaster at the newspaper Etela-Saimaa.!
Time-tested folk superstitions claim that if a cat hides its nose, it means bad weather or cold weather. What else does this behavior of furry pets indicate can be found in this article.
Observing cat behavior
Very often, by observing the behavior of a pet, one can draw conclusions about events in the near future. The following signs are associated with cat behavior:
- The cat washes itself when guests arrive (some believe that the sign works if the animal washes itself while sitting “facing” the front door).
- Hearing a cat sneeze, according to Italians, portends the imminent onset of happiness. According to other beliefs, a cat sneezes to warn of a possible illness. In such cases, it is recommended to quickly say to the animal: “Hello!”, this will neutralize the bad prediction. Also, the sneezing of an animal near a young couple is often taken as a sign of imminent marriage.
- If a cat knows that it is not allowed to sit on the table, but suddenly climbs onto it, this indicates that the people who were recently visiting and sitting at the table have bad intentions towards the owners. Climbing onto the table, she tries to “expel” bad energy in order to protect her loved ones.
- If there is a small child in the house, and the cat stubbornly climbs into his crib, you should not drive her away. Children are defenseless against evil spirits, especially in their dreams, and the tailed protector will help ward off the forces of evil.
- If it is unusual for a cat to be very affectionate towards people, but she unexpectedly came, demanding to pet her, or rubs against her legs, this indicates the imminent acquisition of a new thing (most often successful) or the receipt of a gift.
- If a cat sits on the threshold, turning towards the exit, this indicates that she is trying to prevent bad news, troubles or death, as well as unclean spirits from entering the house. Pets also protect themselves from evil forces when they go to the toilet in a completely inappropriate place, for example, on beds. It is impossible to scold and punish for such actions: ancestors have long noticed that this sign actually comes true.
- Sitting on the windowsill and looking out the window, the cat often warns that people with bad intentions or unwanted guests will soon visit. In this way, the cat tries to delay them on their way and prevent them from entering the house.
It is also interesting to observe how and where the cat sleeps. This can tell a lot to an attentive person. If a pet comes into bed with its owner and tries to perch on his head, this indicates that something is bothering the person, and the pet wants to drive away these thoughts.
If an animal lies down at its feet, it tries to cleanse the owner of bad energy brought home from the outside. When a cat persistently tries to sleep between a married couple, it means that there are some difficulties in their relationship or a quarrel has occurred. So she tries to remove the bad, to take away the negative emotions that the husband and wife experience towards each other.
If a cat wants to lie down on a certain area of a person’s body and sleep there, it is trying to treat him. It climbs on the head - the owner suffers from headaches, on the neck - it tries to cure problems with the larynx, colds, on the stomach - it treats the digestive tract, on the legs - problems with the musculoskeletal system. If a cat comes to lie on the belly of a pregnant woman, it protects both the baby and its mother. In the early stages of pregnancy, such behavior, especially not typical of the animal before, indicates a possible threat of miscarriage.

Belly protection
When a cat curls up into a ball, its stomach is more or less protected from possible external influences
, since the back and head create some kind of barrier to the internal organs. For greater safety, the cat can also lean its back against a hard surface while sleeping.
This is instinctive behavior, since the ancestors of cats did not have such a comfortable environment that humans now offer them, and could expect an attack from the outside. Even predators took such simple safety measures.
Therefore, by the way, homeless animals that have spent a long time in a dangerous environment, even if they find themselves in a loving family, will sleep in this position for a long time until they understand that nothing threatens them.
Cat in the house
There are many signs associated with cats of different coat colors. The leader, of course, is a black cat, which many take as a harbinger of misfortune. Such beliefs are connected with the fact that previously in villages it was believed that only witches had black cats without a single blond hair. With the help of their pets, they enter into a conspiracy with evil spirits, since evil favors such animals.
Some believed that at night or only during the full moon, the witch was able to enter the body of the coal cat to do evil deeds.
Of course, this is a slander, and black cats are not to blame for anything. On the contrary, many have noticed that a black pet is able to protect the home from troubles, negative energy, and even bring happiness to its owners.
It is considered a particularly negative omen if a coal-black cat crosses the path of someone walking. There will be no way to where the person is going, or misfortune awaits him along the way. In fact, it’s worth postponing your planned hike and returning home if a black cat literally throws itself at your feet, trying to block the path. In other cases, you can safely move on, even if a completely black animal has crossed the road. Especially if the cat did not pay any attention to the passerby.
If a black cat crosses the road behind the person walking, it is believed that this indicates that the person has successfully avoided some kind of trouble or the trouble has passed by.
We recommend reading more about signs about black cats. And also see the article about why you might dream about a coal cat.
The second most popular are the signs about tricolor cats, which bring happiness to their owners. In the old days, it was believed that getting such an animal as a pet was a great success; a tricolor beauty could become a real talisman. Just seeing her on the street while going to an important meeting was considered great luck and a good sign.
Red cats are second only to black cats in terms of the magical properties attributed to them. When starting a saffron milk cap, a person tries to attract the attention of the gods who are responsible for luck and material well-being. If a fiery-colored kitten wanders into the house from nowhere, this is good news and happy changes in life. The cat must be sheltered and well looked after.
Offending a red-haired pet is considered impermissible; this can incur the wrath of higher powers (however, this applies to cats of all colors). Read more in the article about signs about ginger cats.
Gray cats combine the ability of black cats to protect the home from evil spirits and the ability of red cats to bring financial well-being. It is believed that having a gray or smoky animal in the house means big and happy changes. In addition, such a cat crossing the road is considered a good sign.
If a gray cat prefers to sleep on its back, this indicates that it feels completely safe. For the owner, this means that in the near future he will not have material problems, hunger, or a lack of anything. Read more interesting things in the article about signs about gray cats.
White cats, according to legend, have good energy and are able to saturate a house with it, making it cozy and its inhabitants calm and happy. Meeting a white cat on the way to an important meeting is considered a good sign. This promises the success of the planned enterprise, and may also portend good news.
It is believed that white animals can “pull together” the hosts of the disease. This is especially successful for snow-white handsome men with heterochromia (eyes of different colors). Tortoiseshell cats are also considered good healers.
Snow-white cats can help a lonely guy or an unmarried girl find a mate. According to legend, seven white kittens should be given to good hands. Guys need to adopt cats, and girls need cats. Also read about signs about white cats.

Why cats dream: Even the ancient Egyptians used dreams to interpret the will of the gods and predict the future. There were special books for this.

Why does a cat sleep on a person?
So far, scientists have not proven whether a cat goes to sleep on a person’s bed in order to cure his ailments or for any other reason, but science cannot explain a lot of things. There are only a few assumptions explaining the reason for cat behavior:
- Cats are attracted to warmth. The place to sleep must be dry and warm, which is why kitties love to sleep on radiators, televisions, cabinets, window sills, radiators and, of course, in the owner’s bed. Scientists also explain this phenomenon that cats lie down and knead sore spots on the human body: the temperature rises in the inflamed area of the body, this is imperceptible to people, but cats are much more sensitive and accurately detect pockets of heat.
- Its own smell. Cats are endowed by nature with an excellent sense of smell and can distinguish aromas that are elusive to humans. But the strong ones are also tolerated, since the smell of a loved one is calming - the animal feels safe and sleeps soundly. But not every person will become one for the cat, but only the one in whom he feels the leader, the leader of the pack.
- Adoration. Tailed purrs tend to become attached to any family member, and therefore they happily sleep with their pet.
- Fears. Cats usually sleep soundly, so they intuitively try to choose the safest place - next to the person, but at the feet, so as not to inadvertently crush them.
- Jealous. If the kitty did not fall asleep in the owner's bed before, and when a small child, kitten or other family member appeared, the animal began to do this, then the reason is jealousy. By leaving its scent on the owner, the pet shows the stranger that this is his person.
Scientists neither confirm nor refute the assumption that cats can take away negative energy and give out positive energy, draw out all the bad things from people and cure diseases.
Why does a cat sleep at his feet?
According to folk signs and superstitions, if a cat sleeps at his feet, this means that he cleanses the owner’s energy from negativity and tries to draw out all the negative energy accumulated by a person during the day.
Psychics confirm that it is in the legs that negativity accumulates, and when an animal lies down there, it makes you aware of the problem. Perhaps a hidden pathology is developing that requires medical attention. Mustachioed purrs, according to ancient legends, know how to treat joints and diseases associated with them.
If everything is in order with health, it means that the cat is trying to relax the owner, feeling his fatigue and tension. And when a cat sits at the feet and begins to lick itself, it thereby expresses its love and affection for a person. By licking their fur, cats are not just carrying out a hygienic procedure - it is a kind of ritual of “shedding” their scent in order to find a common language with their brothers.
Around the head
A folk superstition says that cats most often go to sleep next to a person’s head when that person suffers from nervous exhaustion and has too many unnecessary thoughts. Thus, cats indicate the urgent need to rest.
And the cat lies next to its head because it completely trusts and feels safe next to this person.
By laying down near the uncovered parts, near the neck or face, cats also warm up, because a person loses at least 10% of heat through the head.
It is interesting that the smell of tobacco does not scare away cats; on the contrary, when an owner smokes, the animals not only sit on the pillow, but also lick the face and “comb” the hair with their claws.
If the cat gets bored with its behavior, you will have to wean it by constantly moving the purr to another place or smearing it with cream, the aroma of which is unpleasant to the cat. Cats do not attach importance to the smell of pungent sweat, but they do not like all perfumes.
On the stomach
According to ancient beliefs, if a cat lies on a girl’s stomach, then she needs to see a doctor as soon as possible; she is most likely expecting a child. Cats are very sensitive to the energy of conception and instantly pick up on it, curling up on their owner’s stomach.
But it happens that a cat comes up, lies on its stomach, kneads with its paws and soon leaves - which means there is no pregnancy. Perhaps a woman has health problems in this area, with the gastrointestinal tract, for example. Then it would be a good idea to seek advice from a specialist and undergo a full examination.
If neither pregnancy nor illness is observed, most likely the animal is simply comfortable and warm to sleep on the owner’s stomach.
On the back
There are several reasons why a cat lies on a person’s back at night, and they are the same as when positioned near the head:
- she is warm there;
- feeling of security;
- out of love for the owner;
- found the source of inflammation (heart, kidneys, blood pressure);
- takes away the negativity.
Cat owners with many years of experience in breeding animals unanimously claim that thanks to their pets they have recovered from illnesses and lost unpleasant symptoms.
The sign that millions of people believe in has its own name - felinotherapy. This is the name for the ability of cats to treat various ailments, although the healing side of cats is unknown to scientists today and has not been fully proven.
Road signs
The most famous sign: a cat running across the road (usually black, but generally of any color) foretells that there will be no path. Residents of Foggy Albion believe that if they are about to leave the house and hear a loud meow, it means they should postpone their journey.
If you are going to leave the house, even for a short time, you should ask the cat to protect it from uninvited guests and thieves. To do this, you need to gently stroke her and address her in your own words. Together with her brownie ally, she will fulfill the request.
If a cat purrs in response to affection, this indicates that everything will be fine, but if it meows loudly, then you should not leave the house now.
Before a long journey, people pack a bag or suitcase. If a cat climbs into it just to lie down and sleep, then the trip will be successful. If the animal tries to throw things out of the bag, you need to postpone leaving.
Sailors and fishermen always tried to take a cat on board. Initially, this was done for purely practical reasons: the cat destroyed rats - the main destroyers of food, which to remain without at sea meant certain death. Rats and mice could also damage barrels of fresh water, which was nowhere to be taken in the open sea, far from the shore. Over time, a cat on a ship began to be considered simply a good omen, and sailors always took their tailed friends on a trip. Their behavior was also used to judge the upcoming weather.

Signs about a tricolor cat and if the cat came home dirty
There are signs about a tricolor cat: it is believed that if it is in the house, it will save it from fire and other misfortunes.
Having an animal with such an unusual coloring, its owner will never get sick with fever. Calico cats are often kept on ships because they attract good luck and profit. When a cat himself comes to someone else's house, he brings happiness and prosperity to him. If an animal comes into someone's house, it must stay there; it cannot be kicked out. There is also a well-known sign: a cat came home dirty a few days after being away, which means spring has already arrived! see also

Cat and material well-being
Witches and sorcerers have various methods of enrichment, and one of them is associated with the possibility of receiving an irredeemable ruble from an unclean one. You can also get this magical item using different methods, for example, using a black cat. At midnight you should go to the crossroads, stand facing west and pinch the animal so that it meows loudly. In response to these sounds, a spirit will appear and ask you to sell the cat. You must agree, asking for a ruble in return. Such a coin will invariably return to the owner and make him rich.
In China, they believe that keeping a cat in the house is a sign of wealth. If a stray cat comes into the house, material well-being will soon end.
If a cat fawns over its owner, it means he will soon receive an expensive gift or profit.
During the growing month, you should stroke a gray cat wearing white socks to gain wealth and good luck.
Mr. Cat recommends: the most popular signs
One of the most famous beliefs is that a cat should be the first to cross the threshold of a new home. She will “assess” the energy state of the new home and establish contact with the brownie.
Here are the most common and often true signs associated with cats:
- the cat broke the mirror - fortunately;
- washes his face - to the guests;
- petting a cat if he comes up on his own means good luck and material well-being for the near future;
- There must always be at least one cat on the ship, then it will return safely to the port (the wives of sailors kept black cats in the house so that their husbands would definitely return);
- whoever pours water on a cat loses half his life;
- kittens cannot be given away for free; you must take at least a small coin in return;
- by feeding stray cats, a person patches up his karma, and also ensures a prosperous afterlife existence for deceased relatives;
- Taking home a stray cat and taking care of it will bring money and happiness; driving away an incoming animal will incur punishment from higher powers (it is believed that cats only come to places where they are really needed).
Cats have been living next to humans for a very long time, bringing joy with their mere presence. It turns out that they can bring quite material well-being, as well as protect the house from troubles and ward off death. Therefore, you need to protect and care for your furry pet so as not to incur the wrath of the goddess Bast and her comrades from other mythological stories.
