The Purrfect Fairy A Look at
Italys Unique Take on
CinderellaWhen it comes to
beloved fairy tales we often
think of familiar characters
like glass slippers handsome
princes and benevolent fairy
godmothers But have you ever
heard of a cat as the fairy
godmother in an original
version of Cinderella Thats
right in Italy the iconic
character was replaced by a
feline friendIn the 1634
Italian translation of Charles
Perraults Cenerentola a
curious twist on the classic
tale a wise and kind cat takes
on the role of fairy godmother
This whiskered wonder named
Puss in Boots yes you read
that right uses her cunning
and magical powers to help the
downtrodden CinderellaAs we
ruminate on this peculiar
choice its fascinating to
consider what motivated the
original authors to substitute
a cat for a traditional fairy
godmother Perhaps they wanted
to emphasize the importance of
selfreliance and
resourcefulness as cats are
notorious for their
independent nature Or maybe
they simply wanted to add a
touch of whimsy and humor to
an already enchanting
taleWhatever the reasoning
behind this creative decision
its undeniable that Puss in
Boots adds a unique layer of
charm and personality to the
story Imagine Cinderellas
fairy godmother as a sassy
quickwitted cat who knows
exactly how to get what she
wants Who wouldnt want a
guardian like that rightIn
conclusion Italys take on
Cinderella serves as a
delightful reminder that
theres always room for
innovation and creativity in
our beloved tales By swapping
out the typical fairy
godmother for a clever cat
were encouraged to think
outside the box or pumpkin in
this case and appreciate the
special qualities each
character brings to the
storySo go ahead grab some
coffee or a glass of wine and
lets ruminate on this
purrfectly enchanting version
of Cinderella Who knows You
might just find yourself
rooting for Puss in Boots the
feline fairy godmother who
steals the show
