Cat legend

 


Cat legend

 

When the wise man Agudemba was chatting with the coachman Adhuo, the talkative crow Betty told them about the big cat dynasty. The big cat dynasty with thousands of years of history once again changed the leader of the big cats. A reclusive tabby cat suddenly becomes the King of Cats.

Why did the tabby cat suddenly become the big cat? Because the civet cat is very aware of the treacherous situation inside and outside the government. But he just "pretends" and behaves like a nerd who doesn't care about anything outside the window. In fact, the civet cat is very scheming.

Are tabby cats really that powerful? Yes, there is no more evil, only more evil! The tabby cat is also called a leopard cat, a lynx, and a wild cat. It is good at running, can sneak attacks, and can climb trees. Civet cats are carnivorous animals whose food mainly consists of birds, and they often hunt in ambushes. Other animals also eat rats, snakes, frogs and fruits.

The tabby cat is popular among people not only because it has a very beautiful coat, a healthy body, is particularly easy to feed, and is very good at catching mice. The markings of a tabby cat should be beautiful and clear. Usually the foot pads and palm hair are black. In the wild, it is precisely because of this protective color that the ancient cat species, the civet cat, has survived to this day.

Crow Betty said to Agudemba and coachman Adhuo:

From wild cats to domestic cats, the legendary stories of cats are astonishing.

Betty the crow sang "Cat Legend":

 

In the distant past 130,000 years ago,

At that time, the ancestor of the domestic cat,

Living in Libya in the Middle East.

Later in the Nile Delta,

It was that period in ancient Egypt,

The worship of the cat god arose.

Cats have always been regarded as sacred animals.

In the early days of ancient Egypt, the cat god

He has the dual identity of the sun and moon god.

Legend has it that when night falls,

The light of life from the sun,

It will be kept hidden in a cat's eye.

The sun god once transformed into a cat,

Defeated the evil Anaconda.

 

Cats live in desert swamps,

Ancestors who were domesticated cats.

Frescoes in Egyptian tombs,

Cats and mice are often seen;

Among the papyrus documents,

There are also records of domesticated cats.

Addicted to cruel witch hunts,

Associating cats with heresy.

The king of France provoked a strange case,

At the trial of the Knights Templar,

It is a crime to pray to a cat.

So when the witch was burned to death,

Burned to death along with his domestic cat.

Therefore, it is not only European black cats,

All cats are killed.

 

Ancestors of Asian domestic cats appear,

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
