POLISH CUSTOM
PUT A CAT IN A HOUSE BEFORE YOU MOVE INTO IT AND THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE GOOD LUCK.
Submitter comment:
A NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TO BORROW OUR CAT FOR ONE OF THEIR
RELATIVES WHO HAD JUST BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE. THESE RELATIVES
OF OUR NEIGHBOR HAD JUST RECENTLY COME OVER FROM POLAND.
I DON'T KNOW THE PEOPLE'S NAMES AND THE NEIGHBOR DOESN'T
LIVE AROUND US ANY MORE.
