Historical & Cultural Significance of White Cats
In history, white cats have held much importance in various cultures. In ancient Egypt, cats were much respected, and white cats were particularly associated with the goddess Bastet.
In Japan, white cats are considered fortunate and good fortune-bringers to a household, while in Celtic mythology, a fairy cat known as the Cat Sith was painted as black with one white mark on the chest and was believed to steal souls before they reached heaven.
In European folklore, white cats were sometimes associated with good luck and wealth, though superstitious connotations varied widely by region. A white cat darting across your path was considered by some to be a sign of good fortune – a far cry from their black cat cousins!
Facts About White Cats
White cats do need a little more TLC when grooming
That gorgeous white coat can really accentuate tear stains under the eyes, and white cats with pink skin are also sun-sensitive. Light routine cleaning around the eyes and ears keep that gorgeous coat in its best shape.
Did you know white cats with blue eyes are more likely to be deaf?
The science behind white cats with blue eyes is pretty incredible. That beautiful snowy coat comes from a gene called the dominant white gene (W), which basically masks all other colors. This same gene affects the development of special cells called melanocytes, which aren’t just responsible for fur color but also play a role in inner ear development!
When these melanocytes don’t develop properly, it can affect hearing. White cats with two blue eyes have about a 65-85% chance of being deaf. If they have just one blue eye? They’re often deaf only on the blue-eyed side! And white cats with non-blue eyes have a lower chance of hearing issues, around 20%.
Is There a National White Cat Day?
Yes! September 5th is the day when white cat parents everywhere get an extra excuse to spam their Instagram with those perfect white kitty photos. Though let’s be honest, most of us are doing that 365 days a year anyway!
If you’re looking to celebrate White Cat Day, you could:
- Give your white kitty some extra special treats
- Take adorable photos for social media (because let’s be honest, we’re all doing that anyway!)
- Make a little donation to your local animal shelter
- Schedule some extra playtime with your feline friend
Finding Your Perfect White Girl Cat Name
The perfect name often reveals itself in those first few days together. I remember watching my white kitten literally jump into a laundry basket full of clean white sheets and disappear completely – that’s how Snowflake got her name!
Whatever name you choose, make it something you love saying. After all, you’ll be calling it across the house for years to come (usually followed by “please stop scratching that!”).
Which of these snowy names speaks to you? Or perhaps your white princess deserves something completely unique? Keep in mind, the best names for your cat are the ones which make you grin each time you utter them just like your gorgeous white cat makes you grin each time you look at her.
