Hearing a Cat Meow — What the Texts and Tradition Say
According to Brihat Samhita, a cat's call is always considered lucky for a traveller.
Folk belief frowns on a cat's cry-like wail at night — treat that separately.
If the cat seems hungry, offer water or milk.
Brihat Samhita's general rule reverses omens for women; no separate rule is given for this one.
