Saji reacts with worry, saying, “A cat!” When asked what’s wrong, Saji explains that when a cat crosses your path it means something very bad will happen. The carriage driver nearby confirms, “Yes, sahib, it means a death!”

Final Mewsings: Despite superstitious beliefs, cats don’t run around dealing out death.
