Butter fingers |
Or butter toes, to be more precise. Given that some cats like to wander off, there are some old superstitions about how to keep cats at home. One, from Britain, goes this way: when you bring a cat to your home for the first time, smear butter on his paws. He will lick off the butter, of course, and will connect the delightful taste to his new home, ensuring he will always return there.
