Magical Cats Bring Good Fortune

Cats, especially black cats, have long been associated with magic and witchcraft. Their ability to walk silently, their tendency to remain wild and yet gentle with their humans and the difficulty in controlling them, as compared with dogs, has bestowed upon them a magical mystique.

Historically cats have played important roles in society as well as man's home life. Cats were sacred in Ancient Egypt, for protecting grain supplies from rodents, and are considered lucky household spirits in Japanese lore. During the 1600s, in Great Britain, it was tradition for visitors to kiss the family cat upon their arrival, to ensure a pleasant visit. To this day, in many cultures, to do ill to a cat can only bring bad luck, loss of love, or worse, death.

If you have a new cat, finding the appropriate mysterious name is the first rite to cat ownership. To celebrate your new lucky talisman, consider these magical cat names from witchcraft, history, literature, and the magician's closet.

Magical Realism Names for Cats

Magical realism is a genre of drama and literature that imbues its heavily detailed, realistic characters and environments with elements of fantasy or the supernatural. In these tales the lines occasionally blur from the mundane to the fantastic. Authors are reticent to give explanations for the sudden supernatural elements; such events are intended to highlight some peculiarity of normal life.

These names from authors and their novels, celebrate the combination of reality and fantasy we experience living with these magical creatures. While they generally seem to be bound by the physics of Earth, they may suddenly defy gravity and run up a wall or over a fence 20 times their height. And let's not forget the cat's ability to parachute to Earth from a third or fourth story balcony, simply by twisting and arching their long backs.

Allende - Isabel Allende, iconic magical realism author and writer of The House of Spirits.

Gabriel - Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nobel prize wining author of 100 Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera among other magical realism novels.

Naylor - Gloria Naylor, heavily influenced by Toni Morrison, wrote The Women of Brewster Place, Linden Hills and Mama Day. Naylor makes a cute magical name for a kitty with sharp nails.

Rushdie - Salmon Rushdie, his novel, The Satanic Versus, so insulted the Islamic community, a fatwah was placed upon his life. Like any good cat, he survived to write another tale.

His works are considered experimental in style, with sparing use of periods, sentences that go on for over a page, and sometimes abandoning the use of proper nouns. A Nobel laureate, his works include The Gospel According to Jesus Christ and Death with Interruptions, wherein the townsfolk suddenly stop dying.

Toni - Toni Morrison, African American author, Nobel Prize winner, and author of Beloved and The Song of Solomon.

Famously, Johnny Carson, a former magician himself, devised a setup of Geller on the Tonight Show, with all props being supplied by Tonight Show staff. Geller failed at each of his tests. Predictably, his precise failure to accomplish any psychic or magical feats made him an American megastar.
