He hopes that something will come out of it, that he'll be able to actually be with her and have her as his own. But you'll have to read the full story below to find out what happens in the end.

  • The parents are superstitious towards the cat, but why? Actually cats have long been surrounded by superstition, mystery, and folklore. Across many cultures and centuries, people have attached symbolic meanings to these animals, sometimes seeing them as lucky companions and other times viewing them with suspicion. Their sleek movements, glowing eyes in the dark, and independent, stoic nature have made them seem mysterious to humans throughout history. One of the most famous superstitious are around black cats. In some traditions, especially in parts of Europe or North America, a black cat crossing someone's path is believed to bring bad luck. This notion dates back to the Middle Ages, when black cats were sometimes associated with witchcraft. People believed that witches could transform into cats or that cats served as magical companions.

  • But not all cultures are suspicious of cats. In some places, cats are actually symbols of good fortune and protection. A cat's mysterious beauty likes contributed to many of the superstitions that surround them. Unlike dogs, which tend to be more openly expressive, cats often move silently and appear to observe everything around them.
