Yes, Cat Astrology Is Real (Well, Sort Of!)
Do you ever wonder why your cat stares out the window at 3 a.m.? Or why they love affection one minute and scratch your hand the next? While science might say it’s instinct, lovers of all things mystical have another theory — astrology.
The assumption is that, much as people, cats too have zodiac signs given based on their birth dates; each sign corresponds with a particular collection of unique traits. Cat astrology could be a funny way to connect with your cat friend on a deeper, cosmic level whether you have an ambassadorial Leo or a laid-back Pisces.
From here, pick up your feline, check the date of birth, and let us divine from the stars about your cat’s behavior, temperament, and preferred nap places!
