I used to believe that if a black cat ran out in front of you it is bad luck. I do not believe that anymore. When it happened to me a few times I would dewell on it and everthing that would happen to be that was bad I would blame on the black cat that ran out in front of me. I relize now that the idea of that was pretty silly to think such a thought. I love cats and know I would even love a black one. I am not afraid of one to run out in front of me anymore.

I don't believe that black color brings bad luck or black cat brings bad luck. My grand father used to say that black cat represents devil and it is not good to keep a black cat at home. So, we throw a way one of the black cats born at our home. I don't really believe in any of those old beliefs. Some people in my place believes that not only black cat, any cat taht crosses infront of you brings bad luck to yo.

I am a bit superstitious but I don't believe that things with cat. I have black cats and I adore them. There's no way I will believe black cats bring bad luck. Black cats are cats, nothing more than that. They run around me all the time. It's hard to shake them off, especially when they're starving.

each time a black cat runs out in front of me, i do think of this belief which had been widely spread for decades. but nothing bad happens to me though. it is really weird that people still believe it. i suggest that we spread "if a white cat runs out in front of you it is good luck!" LOL!

w00tI have a black kitten now which I rescued a month ago then my 9 year old nephew exclaimed. It's a black cat, you will be doomed for the next 20 years LOL Well, he read it somewhere from a book of myths and legends.
Well, I know the myth but black kittens are cute. My black cat died a few years back because he ate something from a neighbors which I believe had poisoned some rats.
Now, my nephew plays with the balck kitten really but sometimes just to freak somebody out he will shout don't touch it it will give you bad luck for 1o years.surrender

Hi, tuckersheri. It's all superstition.happyLet me share with you and to our fellow mylotters my knowledge about the black cat superstitions in different countries.happy

In Scotland, a strange black cat on your porch is a sign of upcoming prosperity. In Ireland, when a black cat crosses your path in the moonlight, it means there is going to be an epidemic illness. In Italy hundreds of years ago, it was believed that if a black cat lay on the bed of a sick person, that person would die. Many years ago in England, fishermen's wives kept black cats in their homes while their husbands went away to sea in their fishing boats. They believed that the black cats would prevent danger from occurring to their husbands while they were away. In places which saw few witch hunts, black cats retained their status as good luck, and are still considered as such in Britain and Ireland. In Romanian and Indian culture, especially in the historical region of Moldavia in Romania and everywhere in India still feared by many people is that black cats crossing their path represents bad luck, despite the fact that these regions were never affected by witch hunts or anti-paganism.

It is said that a black cat It is said that a black cat letting one in your house is good luck.

Historically, black cats were symbolically associated with witchcraft and evil. In the African American hoodoo tradition, black cats are considered to be good luck in matters of sports and gambling, particularly with card games and playing the lottery.happy

Hey tuckersheri
I really don't believe in such things. But most of them say that it is true. One time, when I was small, I believed in it and never let a black cat pass from my way, but one day, a black cat passed and I really got tensed and started thinking what to do, shall I go back or go where I was going. Actually it was a really important work that I had to do, so I decided to go where I had to go. So in the beginning I was thinking that will something bad happen but nothing happened and on the middle of the way, I started going happily and forgot about the black cat. And of course till I reached the my home, nothing happened. This all is seriously nothing, nothing will happen if a black cat passes by. And now I totally don't believe in this but I am scared of black cats, that is different because they look really dangerous, their eyes, too scary. So, I stay far away from them!
