    Thank you fish girl.

    Superstition and I do not believe it. 

    nonsense don't believe the hype..

    If my father-in-law ever saw a black cat at the front of the house, he would not go out until the cat had gone.

    Black Cats are Incredible...GREAT LUCK! Of course my X thinks I'm a witch/warlock....That's why i left all of the ladders behind...

    Only if the cat does not like you.

    Yes, all black cats are killers and they will claw you to death and then eat you!!!!!!!!  Run away as fast as you can if you see one of them looking at you.  He will attack within 2 minutes....RUN!!!!

    I'd like to give you a T D for that, but Colleen schooled me on not giving anyone a T D

    @leosmanl...Yikes!!! haha

    I go way way way out of my way to avoid the crossing of the paths. 


    I am not superstitious at all.

    3000BC in Egypt the black cat had rock star status and then the middle ages and witches and their status went down. In Japan they are still considered lucky - as far I am concerned any colour will do. 

    I have 2 black cats,they don't give me bad luck,they give me joy.

    mycatsmom

    they are pretty and sweet :-)

    You can not adopt a black cat on Halloween. People (kids?) use them for horrible purposes at midnight on Halloween.  At least this was how it was in one SPCA.


    Black cats are just regular cats except they have black fur.

    I NEVER let my cat out on Halloween! To afraid someone would hurt it due to silly superstition!

    In some instances, cultures, and times, they were known to represent good luck.

    If you ever see a black cat, that does not belong to you in real life go find the nearest saltshaker and shake some slat over your shoulder ASAP or bad luck will come within a week. I forgot to do that one time and I had bad luck a week later. I had to wait in line at the store and I had to get a jump-start on my car and I did not win when I bought lotto scratchers.

    Well, that just proves that black cats are unlucky...keep your salt shaker with you at all times, okay?
    mycatsmom

    Do you really beleive that ? You can have bad luck without a black cat crossing your path.
    Ed1530

    I think any time that you have bad luck you must have seen a black cat some place like TV, picture, on a shirt, somewhere, and then the bad luck started. I mean it is hard to prove that you did not see a black cat right.?

    mycatsmom...IT'S A JOKE!!!!!!

    Ducky, OK .

    You know many of us have had a black cat cross our line of vision in the darkness when we are sitting in our lawn chair smoking a cigarette ... or something.
    You absolutely can not see a black cat at midnight. Scary. Huh?
    And as you say, "It is hard to prove that you did not see a black cat."
    or that you did!!
    It's all just a puzzle, Ed.
    witchway

    That wasn't bad luck, that is what you call "life".
    doolittle

    Your entire problem was not admiring the black cats! I have broken more mirrors and walked under large ladders...and accidentally sprinkled too much salt (into baked goods) and Of course owned a most awesome black cat.....and no bad luck could be contributed to any of it....hmm, maybe that's why my X thought I was a witch/warlock.? Of course, in college, people called me Glinda the good witch (Wizard of Oz)! But for Entirely different reasons-LOL

    Black cats are lucky and lovely!!!(Nearly put ,as is Leosparent ,but didnt want to appear fatuous!!!!)

    Personally, I don't think black cats are bad luck.  Now, the number 13, or breaking a mirror.. those are sure signs of bad luck.  Those are serious signs, not to be taken lightly.   :0

    Yup, with my Ettikat Felinski and Fur Green,
    I was looking at my cat tonight and she looks old. I do worry.
    That’s a cute new black cat next to your text.
    melandrupert

    itsme its sad when they start to look old and of course you are going to worry thanks xxx

    It's a bunch of bull.  Any one who's ever had a black cat can tell you they're just as loving and sweet as any color cat. And they don't bring bad luck.

    A friend of mine had a "golden cat" that loved shower curtains! lol

    It's a folk tale and there are a raft of them out there.
