Some Cultures Consider the Tri-Colored Cat Good Luck In many circles, the tri-color cat – calico and, by extension, tabico – is a sign of good luck. In Germany, calico cats are called “Gluckskatze,” which means “Lucky Cat.” Is there any truth to this lucky legend? Well, my mother and grandmother were from Germany, and I have two calicos, but I can’t say I’ve experienced any unusual luck and good fortune in my life the past two years. However, I would consider owning these cats to be lucky enough in and of itself. In the United States, with the same sentiment, some people call calicos/tabicos “money cats.” (I will remind the universe of that when I buy my next Powerball ticket.) In Japan, tri-color cats were thought to bring magical powers and wealth, and sailors often took calicos with them to protect the ship against danger. According to Irish folklore, rubbing a tri-color cat’s tail on a wart will cure the wart, but there’s a catch: It only works during the month of May.
