Are cats rich or poor?

There has always been a folk saying that "cats come to be poor and dogs come to be rich", which means that it is ominous that stray cats will automatically come to a family, and this family will become poor and stray dogs will come to be rich.

In ancient times, this statement was reasonable, not superstitious. In ancient times, the rich lived in brick houses with floors, while the poor lived in adobe houses without floors. The house is full of rat holes. When there are many mice, cats will also come to visit. Rich people often eat meat, and dogs have smart noses. So the dog ran to the rich and waited to eat the bones, so there was a saying that "the cat came to the poor and the dog came to the rich"

Extended data

Cats are fast and good at jumping. Eat fish, mice, rabbits, etc. Cats like to eat fish and mice, because cats are Nocturnal Animals. In order to see things clearly at night, they need a lot of taurine. Both mice and fish contain taurine, so cats eat them not only because they like fish and mice, but also because of their own needs.

Cats, as natural enemies of rodents, can effectively reduce the harm of rodents to crops such as young crops, which can be seen from the font "Miao" of ancient cats in China.
