I just came across the phrase White Tiger Star (白虎星) which my dictionary defines as a superstitious term for "one who brings disaster to others". Could this be the origin of the belief that a completely bald pussy - i.e., a White Tiger - is also unlucky? If so, this might be another of those instances that occur frequently in the Chinese language where attributes thought to adhere to one thing become associated with a completely different thing because it shares a similar name.
