| Stretch Cat Description: | | "From its ancient mythological origins to household protective spirit, cats have held a place of high esteem for centuries. In creation myths, the cat is universally linked to the stars of Day and Night. In ancient Egypt, Bastet (the cat-goddess who sprang from the eye of the sun) was the goddess of music, dance and the joie-de-vivre, Cats were considered to be genius loci or household spirit by the Gallo Romans. Greek and Roman mythology attributed the cat's origins to the divinities of the moon, Artemis and Diana. Valued for strength, agility, fertility and their independent nature, Mohammad granted to the cat the gift of always landing on their feet. In Japan, Maneki Neko is the symbol of good fortune. The cat with left paw raised insures commercial success. From Heaven to Heaven, cats have earned their place of importance in our daily lives." - Doug Turner |
