Resumo: The domestic cat has been symbolically represented over time in a very different way, with connotations sometimes positive and sometimes negative. It is also paradoxical the way that society historically interacts with this feline so, its symbolic representation and its direct interaction with the human seem to go together. In the present, the cat suffers a lot with cruelty acts, abandonment and death, including reduced rate of adoption. Thus, this paper aims to briefly describe the beliefs and ritual uses of cats in different cultures, reflecting on how the symbolism of this feline relates to ethical issues. Education programs and the proper implementation of the laws are identified as important factors to modify this anthropocentric and speciesist paradigm inconsistent with the animal ethics perspectives.

It is also paradoxical the way that society historically interacts with this feline so, its symbolic representation and its direct interaction with the human seem to go together. In the present, the cat suffers a lot with cruelty acts, abandonment and death, including reduced rate of adoption.

También es paradójica la forma con que la históricamente la sociedad ha interactuado con este felino, por lo que su representación simbólica y la interacción directa con el hombre, parecen ir de la mano. En la actualidad, el gato es uno de los animales que más sufre de actos de crueldad, abandono y muerte, incluyendo una baja tasa de adopción. Por lo tanto, este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir brevemente las creencias y los usos rituales de gatos en diferentes culturas, reflexionando sobre como la simbología de este felino se relaciona a las cuestiones éticas. La educación y la correcta aplicación de las leyes se citan como factores importantes para modificar este paradigma antropocéntrico especista inconsistente con las perspectivas de una ética animal. O gato doméstico tem sido representado simbolicamente ao longo do tempo de maneira bastante diversa, com conotações ora positivas, ora negativas. Também é paradoxal o modo como a sociedade historicamente interage com este felino de modo que a sua representação simbólica e interação direta com o homem, parecem caminhar juntas. No presente, o gato é um dos animais que mais sofre atos de crueldade, abandono e morte, possuindo inclusive reduzida taxa de adoção. Desta forma, este trabalho objetiva descrever brevemente as crenças e os usos rituais dos gatos em diferentes culturas, refletindo sobre como a simbologia deste felino se relaciona às questões éticas. A educação e a aplicação adequada das leis são apontadas como importantes fatores para modificar este paradigma especista e antropocêntrico incoerente com as perspectivas de uma ética animal.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2014-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa histórica e revisão de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2014v11n1p23110.5007/1807-1384.2014v11n1p231Interdisciplinary International Journal - INTERthesis; Vol. 11 No. 1 (2014); 231-253Revista Internacional Interdisciplinaria INTERthesis; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2014); 231-253Revista Internacional Interdisciplinar INTERthesis; v. 11 n. 1 (2014); 231-2531807-1384reponame:INTERthesisinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2014v11n1p231/26894Machado, Juliana ClementePaixão, Rita Lealinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-15T08:43:39Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/32143Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/oaiinterthesis@gmail.com||interthesis@cfh.ufsc.br||cimbalista@uol.com.br1807-13841807-1384opendoar:2024-03-15T08:43:39INTERthesis - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
