During a long time, I thought that the ancient Egyptians were the only ones who esteemed, exalted, and even worshipped cats. But when I began riding about mysterious world mythology, I found that there’s a lot more to cats, divinities, and miracles than I first supposed.

The Norwegian goddess Freyja, the divinity of love, abundance, war, welfare, prediction, and magic, drove in a chariot pulled by two huge gray cats presented to her by the god Thor. Farmers gave tribute to the cats in order to provide a good harvest.

Ovinnik, in ancient Poland, who appeared in the shape of a black cat, was respected by many prosperous families because he observed over home animals and pursued away sinister-natured ghosts and naughty fairies. In Slavonic legends, they were great until you didn’t appreciate them or give them what they wanted.
