Outdated colorism is what it is. Some idiot in the 1700’s who happened to be a Christian said black cats were evil and the devil incarnated. And there were a whole bunch of other Christians who were dumb enough to believe him. So they’d went around grabbing black cats off the streets to burn at festivals to “punish for the evil deeds”.
Somehow a severely watered down version of this belief survived to the present and some people believe black cats are bad luck. They aren’t. They can be pretty adorable though.
The Cubs were 9 games ahead of the Mets in the 1969 standings late in the season with 2 months to play, about 55 games or so and as soon as this happened, they blew their lead and Mets won the division and went on to win the 1969 World Series

Thoughts? Coincidence?
Nope. I'm not superstitious at all.
I sort of like teasing people who do react.
Have you heard... the more dangerous a situation (such as crab fishing, for instance) the more superstitious the people in it tend to be? They like to try and feel some sort of control or order over their unpredictable conditions.
No. There are a couple black cats in my neighborhood that have crossed my path and even hang out in my yard sometimes. So far, so good.
Lemme just knock of wood though so I don't jinx myself lol

Until recently black cats are actually good luck. Their black fur makes them excellent junters, especially at night. Wasn't until relatively recently that black cats became connected with witches, thus becoming bad luck instead. We should change it back, black cats deserve love too.
You know it's funny my mom you to do a complete 180 when she saw a black cat cross the street she was driving towards
My mom has always believed in that type of stuff and she still does
However now when a black cat crosses she jus thg keeps on going and i haven't asked her why the black cats don't scare her anymore
I actually have a solid black cat named 'Luna' who I consider as a "good luck charm" to me & my husband.
The only thing that will happen if a black cat crossed my path is that I'd try to pet it and maybe give it something to eat if I have anything.
That superstition is toxic mean cause it causes Black cats to be ignored in shelters and pet stores. Also it seems to encourage people to hurt stray black cats for no reasons.
not really but as a kid a black cat crossed my family at lego land and our family is cursed 100 percent
Black cats are especially good luck ! I have 5 of them -

Yes. Tripping over one of these fuckers in a dark alley, and it's all sorts of bad luck.

I have had a black cat before, and I am perfectly fine. 😂
No I love my black cat and I’ve been so much happier since she became a part of my life 🖤
It could be a bad luck for that cat because I'll run to it, and chase around for taking photos instead.
The results of the poll are breaking!
No one's superstitious on G@G or believes in things like lucky charms?
No, I believe that is all a bunch bull, that is like people say Halloween is evil
Life's miserable enough; I don't bother believing in superstitions.
Well for the old superstition of black cats bringing bad luck it depends on your cultural background.
In some areas of the UK & Europe as example white cats are actually the bad witches companions and friends of the devil. Not black cats.
I have two. One male Noir who’s on my shoulders in the pic and a new kitten female Karma both midnight black.
