The cat is an enigmatic and wonderful animal that has been the ideal companion for many people and revered in some cultures. Although few can remain indifferent to its charm, at one time they were considered more than just pets, especially those of a black color.
The stigma attached to cats of this color stems from their supposed association with witchcraft and bad luck, as it was believed that if a black cat crossed your path, something bad would happen, so you should wait for the cat to return along the same path to be able to cross safely.
These are generally myths that have accompanied black cats for many years, which has led to them being branded with a negative label that still follows them today.
When it comes to finding a new home, luck does not favor cats with dark coats. It is known that the adoption rates of black cats are lower than those of others with lighter tones, perhaps a result of the persistence of superstitions in current culture.
What does it mean when a black cat comes into your house?
However, among the oldest customs, a black cat is a symbol of the night and often represents the feminine condition (not necessarily witches).
