False myths about cats that you should forget

Myths about cats

The Myths they have always accompanied us in life to create ideas that are not real. But we believe them as such because we have spent many years listening to them. For this reason, the myths about cats are also the best known, although today you will have to forget about all of them.

More than anything because we are going to discover how much of it is false phrases. We have believed them for various reasons, but of course, they are not true, so it is time to banish them from our lives. Cats are one of the Pets that cause more expectation and today we will know why.

Cats usually drink milk

Man, it's something we've always had on our mind. We associate milk and cats as two great allies. It is true that when they are very young, it is the mother who gives them the milk. But little by little, these animals do not need it, indeed, it can even provoke serious gastrointestinal damage. Because when they are born they have an enzyme that makes them digest lactose. But as they grow, it already disappears. So that's where problems with milk can come. So, it is one of the great myths that we all have associated with.

The bad luck of black cats

In this case, we have little to explain. Because as we well know, color does not influence luck at all. It is simply another of the myths that have been maintained since almost the Middle Ages, where cats accompanied people who performed certain spells. Hence, it was assumed that they were synonymous with witchcraft. Nothing could be further from the truth. As we have read on some occasion, luck sometimes comes from oneself and if it is bad, the pet you have is not to blame.

Cats land on their feet

Besides myth, it is one of those theories that almost everyone has believed. The truth is that here it is not entirely false but not true either. That is to say, felines are quite flexible. So in the event of a fall, it is true that they have the mobility to turn around to generate less impact. But it is clear that it will also depend on the height from which it falls. Also, even if he lands on his feet, this does not indicate that he is immune, because he can also hurt himself.

Pregnant women shouldn't have a cat

In this case we are facing one of the most harmful myths for pets. More than anything because there have been several cases of women who have become pregnant and who have had to 'get rid' of the feline. It was said that there was a risk that they would transmit the toxoplasmosis. But you can have a cat perfectly, the only thing that is better than the feces and the sand of the feline can be changed by another person or, done with gloves. That is, we can be a little cautious but not as much as getting rid of our pets.

They are treacherous

We have heard it numerous times, but it is a myth. This does not mean that have a more independent nature or that sometimes someone has more forceful responses, by way of gestures. But they have many other ways of showing affection. In this case, you just need to talk to everyone who has had a feline by their side. Here I can contribute my grain of sand saying that in my case it has been more than 16 years living with one and of course, the treacherous thing I have not seen anywhere.

They get along like a cat and a dog

Well then, they can get along. Because it is another of the most widespread myths. They can be very contrary in their comportamiento, but it is also true that if they live together since they were little, then they will become friends and there will not be any kind of problem between them.
