He added that some people have a negative perception of black cats, viewing them as ‘bringers’ of bad luck.

Feeling bad for the cat, he decided to adopt it.

He said the cat developed the habit of nudging teapots on his own, seemingly mimicking devotees when they’re making offerings at the temple.

The cat also displayed its intelligence by meowing at night to signal bedtime and giving massages to the monk.

As seen in the video, the monk treats the cat with snacks to reward it for the kind gesture.

Ending the clip, the monk advised against abandoning pets, highlighting the emotional trauma it has on the animals.
