Several ancient religions believed that cats are exalted souls, companions or guides for humans, that they are all-knowing but are mute so they cannot influence decisions made by humans. In Japan, the Maneki Neko is a cat that is a symbol of "good fortune".
Although there are no sacred species in Islam, it is said by some writers that Muhammad had a favorite cat, Muezza.
It is said he loved cats so much that "he would do without his cloak rather than disturb one that was sleeping on it".
Freyja — the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility in Norse mythology — is depicted as riding a chariot driven by cats.
