Many families have cat as pet but cat as a symbol has many meaning. In the ancient time, cat represents the guardian of the Underworld. They are quite, mysterious, patient and keep everything to themselves. In many movies, black cats have been associated with witchcraft. In other countries, like Ancient Rome, cats were seen as the guardian of homes and were sacrifice to Diana, the moon of goddess. In the Ancient Egypt, cats were an important symbol; it was depicted on the head of Bastet, the lunar goddess. Nowadays in China and Japan, cats are seen as a lucky symbol. Chinese and Japanese business people would have a Prosperity Cat, a statue of a cat with one raised forepaw, somewhere in their store, restaurant, café or office.
