In ancient China, cats were not just companions curled by the hearth. They were quiet weather-watchers, their small habits read like signs from the sky. If a cat washed its face, rain might be coming; if it chewed grass, storms were near. For farmers and families, 1/2 #caturday

🎨 Cats Among Bamboo Shen Chenlin, in the Qing dynasty 明婁元禮撰《田家五行》（引自《說郛續》卷三十）：「狗咬青草吃，主晴。……貓兒吃青草，主雨。」 孫德祖《寄龕丙誌》卷四雲：越俗患頑僮之好狎畜狗若貍奴而或為所爪嚙也曰：『騎貓狗者，娶婦日必雨。』患其好張蓋而敝之也，曰，非暑若雨及，屋下張蓋者軀體不復長。皆投其所忌，繆為之說以懼之，然尋常鞭撻所不能止者，無勿帖然不敢犯。」
