Moving to A New Home

An American superstition (which I have never heard!) says that when moving to a new home, always put the cat through the window instead of the door, so that it will not leave. The Russians say when you move into a new home you should always let the cat enter first for good luck. They don’t specify that it has to be through a window, but why not cover both birds with one stone? Or should that be both cats with one lick?
