Cat manners

In the unlikely event you come across a cat that is attempting to cross a stream, it’s best not to help it. In France, carrying these furry friends across a body of water is said to bring very bad luck. Historically, it was believed that this supposed act of kindness would result in the death of a member of the family that the cat belonged to. Luckily, this part of the old wives’ tale seems to have been forgotten in more recent times.
