webfact Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Cat with eight legs brings luck to Chantaburi family - now for the lottery! Picture: Thairath CHANTABURI: -- A family in Chantaburi is convinced a lucky cat that emerged stillborn is bringing them luck. Forget nine lives this cat was born with eight legs and two tails, Thai Rath reported. Now neighbors are rushing to get all the lottery tickets they can after a relative won a motorcycle in a lucky draw. Suthida Phonart, 28, said that her aunty who lives nearby in Makham district brought her a pregnant cat that was wailing in pain. They tried to get the litter out but something large was stuck in the cat's uterus. So they took the distressed pet to the vet's. The vet extricated a dead foetus that had eight legs, two tails and one head. A check was made to ensure there were no more in the litter and it was discovered there were none. But when they got home it was discovered by aunty Obcheuy, 64, that unbeknown to her the cat had already had two kittens at her house. This sequence of events had all the neighbors scurrying around convinced of the lucky portents and they have all decided to play combinations of the 8, 2 and 1 lucky numbers. The "certainties" of the omen were reinforced by Suthida who said that earlier in the month when the cat was still pregnant she had won a Honda Wave motorcycle in a lucky draw. Now for the lottery!
