It’s a sad legend…….
The Legend:
If a black cat crosses your path, you will have GOOD luck. Yes, that’s right some believe that this event bring GOOD luck. Variations to this belief say that you must politely greet the cat OR stroke the cat 3 times to bring the good luck.

If a black cat crosses your path, you will have bad luck. This is a very common unproven belief in America.
King Charles I of England owned a black cat, whom he valued very much. He treasured the cat so much that he had his guards watch over it 24 hours a day. As luck would have it, the day after the cat died from an illness, the king was arrested.
Some believe black cats are witches in disguise.
Others believe black cats are witches familiars. (Beings that aid witches in performing their craft.)
Fisherman’s wives kept black cats while their husbands went away to sea. They believed that the black cats would prevent danger from occurring to their husbands. These black cats were considered so valuable that they were often stolen.
As a sailor walked up a pier, any cat running ahead of him could bring him luck. If any cat crossed his path, it would mean bad luck.
Sailors kept cats on board ships to bring them luck.
If the ship cat approached a sailor, it meant good luck. If the cat approached halfway and went away, bad luck would surely follow.
If a cat was thrown overboard, a storm would rise and very bad luck would follow.
Various cat parts were also though to be good medicine for a wide range of illnesses.
Some believed that black cats carried demons.
Some believe that black cats have special powers and abilities.
In Australia and Britain, black cats are though to be lucky.
Another belief states: A bride will have a happy married life if a black cat sneezes near her on her wedding day.
All cats were thought to be sacred in ancient Egypt.
Back in ancient days, the Druids thought black cats were human beings. These humans in cat form were being punished for evil deeds.
Some believed that black cats could fly on a broom stick.

that's so sad... :[. Cats shouldn't be tortured because they're evil coz what if they aren't ? [think: holocaust]. No cats can be evil anyway, they love their owners and my cats wouldn't hurt a fly! okay fine, they would, but they are NOT evil

Superstitions don’t make any sense to me, and I don’t believe that sort of hogwash, frankly. And it’s that sort of belief that made the black plague in the middle ages so severe - the cats were the only thing keeping the black *rats* under control, when they killed off so many cats out of fear of “witches”, the rats multiplied unchallenged and spread the plague far and wide over Europe and many more people died than might have if the cats had been left alone to do their job (hunting rodents). Those people paid dearly for their foolishness.

I totally hate this myth. It’s basically like saying that black people are worse than another race. People shouldn’t base animals on their fur color, just like people shouldn’t base other people on their skin color.

i don’t think that it matter’s what color you’re cat is, but to me nothing brings good luck. i have both a black cat (Zephor) and i white cat (Patches). and they don’t bring me luck, and i don’t want them to. becuase that is not what cats are for. and who’d be mindless enugh to think that A cat that crosses you’re path will bring you good/bad luck?

No I don’t think black cats bring bad luck. These are some superstitions that people believe. In reality there is nothing such like that.

The belief that black cats are bad luck is purely a north American belief. Its difficult to be sure where the idea came from but it may be tied with our celebration of Halloween, or the killing of cats (especially black ones) believing they were witches from the 1400s to the 1700s. Strangely enough in England and some parts of Asia, black cats are good luck. Stranger even in some places WHITE cats are bad luck.
