The Cat Symbolism in Hmong Culture

In the story,The Black Cat, the narrator says that cats are witches in disgues, this relates to me because in the Hmong culture, cats symbolizes as evil beings. The Hmong people practice shamanism, and we as shamans belives in evil beings. The cat is known as an evil monster or a little girl which the Hmong people fear. The little girl is described as short, long hair, and dressed in traditional Hmong clothing, but is also known to transform into cats. Still today the Hmong culture thinks that all types of cats are evil beings.
