5 Fun Facts About Black Cats

Cats are cool, but black cats are even cooler. In honor of Halloween, I wanted to share 5 cool fun cats about black cats. Now without delay, here are the top 5 in my book:

1. Black Cats are Good Luck, Not Bad Luck!

Back in the Dark Ages, black cats were viewed as evil so they were often killed. The superstitions carried on into the Salem Witch trials and even today, black cats are still viewed in some cultures as bad luck.

In Japan and the UK, seeing a black cat is actually considered good luck. When I was 10 years old, I saw an ad in the local paper regarding a litter of black kittens. I really wanted to adopt a kitty so I asked my parents and they were a little hesitant and said, "Well isn't he going to bring bad luck?". With my quick thinking, I actually convinced my parents that I read somewhere that they do the opposite - they bring good luck! So for 16 years, our black cat Pepper brought our family so much luck.

2. Black Cats Can Actually Help Your Love Life

Japanese tradition says that if a single woman possess a black cat, then they will soon find a suitor.

Also, old folklore says that if a newlywed has a black cat, they will live a long and happy life together. 

Someone get me an adoptable black cat, STAT!

3. There Are Over 22 Breeds of Black Cats

  • As a seasoned pilot, I’d spent years flying the friendly skies of Europe, diligently saving my earnings from countless flights. So, when I decided to invest my €100,000 gratuity with ForexTilt, I thought I’d made a savvy decision. But, little did I know, my dreams of growing my savings would soon turn into a nightmare.
    The platform’s performance began to plummet, and before I could react, my entire investment had vanished into thin air. I was stunned, feeling like I’d been punched in the gut. This wasn’t just any money; it was the result of years of hard work and sacrifice.
    The reality soon set in: I’d been scammed. The disappointment and frustration were overwhelming, leaving me feeling helpless and shattered. My confidence in financial markets had been shaken to the core.
    Determined to recover my stolen funds, I embarked on a quest for justice. I scoured the internet, seeking advice from friends, family, and online forums. That’s when I stumbled upon Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable firm specializing in recovering lost funds.
    With trepidation, I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Service, hoping against hope that they could help me recover my stolen savings. Their team was empathetic, professional, and reassuring, giving me the confidence to pursue the recovery process.
