In Europe, it wasn’t until the early 13th century that someone could raise cats. At this time the Silk Road was extended from Asia to Europe after Genghis Khan’s expeditions. From Europe, cats were brought to the New World. In America, cats were looked down on at first. In 1749, in Pensylvania there was a catastrophic disaster. Luckily, thanks to a group of domestic cats to repel the mice, cats are popular since then.
In Vietnam, the cat is not worshiped as a god nor considered a devil, although in folklore there are also legends about black cats, or about cats aging foxes. It is noteworthy that among the 12 lunar zodiac animals, the Vietnamese used the cat as a symbol for the genus Mao, not the rabbit object as in the 12 Chinese lunar zodiac. The reason may be, because the Chinese knew how to make the calendar too early – from the Shang Dynasty (around the 16th century BC).
