The cat is a beast beloved by the Russian people, the image of which, both in fairy tales and in literary works, and in art, is multifunctional, because it plays the role of a helper and a wrecker, a rescuer and a liar … will also accept superstitions, which are largely intertwined with the signs of other peoples of the world. Who among us does not remember:

The image of a cat in literature

As we remember from childhood, according to read folk tales, the image of a cat is often presented as a cunning, quick-witted hero, and sometimes a deceiver, a thief, a hooligan and a rogue. He loves to feast on delicious food, to be lazy, and sometimes to amuse himself with various games. At the same time, the character is endowed with positive qualities - depending on the circumstances, the cat is able to save its owners and friends, showing diligence, courage and resourcefulness.

In some fairy tales, the cat is a kind, merciful beast and helper, like a character in the Russian fairy tale "Cat - Golden Forehead." In others - cunning, clever, resourceful - like Puss in Boots from the fairy tale of the French writer Charles Perrault. There are also examples of an evil, cunning and quirky animal, thirsty for profit, as in the story of Konstantin Paustovsky "Cat is a thief" … Where the author showed a typical image of a cat for a Russian person: "A cat is a vagabond and a prankster," which earns its food by stealing. True, in the end, the author, completing his work on a good note, shows that thanks to the care and affection of people, the cat becomes a real guardian of the house and a person's helper.

Curiously, not many people think about the fact that in essence, in many fairy tales, a cat is shown in the image and likeness of a person, with features inherent in any of the people, namely: intelligence and cunning, evil and good, lies and sincerity. Identified and endowed with human qualities - its shortcomings and advantages, the image of a cat is skillfully used by many contemporary artists in their work.
