Re: Why do people not like black cats?


Ive always liked black cats and have now got one, who is adorable (and cheeky!).

My auntie had a black kitten (20years ago) and I remember going over and looking at her for the first time, I had fallen in love with her she was soooooo cute. But sadly on her first time out on her own she got run over and killed, I was devastated (I must of been 5 yrs old at the time but it hit me like a tone of bricks!) Her name was Jess and I often think of her.

Years ago I had a black cat, Nick. His mum was a Siamese, father unknown! He was a real character, very intelligent, and had huge Siamese ears.

Re: Why do people not like black cats?


My first gorgeous puss (the one that started my lifelong love of all things feline) was pure black, glossy short hair. I have ever since harboured a sneaking preference for black cats, tho I have had/do also have black and white, tabby, tortie s,tabby/white s. Never had a pure white cat or a ginger as yet. I was determined to find another female black shorthair when Clara passed away but funnily ended up with a tabby female and a black long hair boy! (Max).

I thought it was only in Ireland and America that the black being bad luck if they cross your path superstition was believed. I actually was nt aware that black cats stay on the shelf longer than their counterparts, poor things. I would take them all home if I could ! Jan x

I sooooooo hope it is supersticious as I am a single white female living in a 3rd floor flat with 5 solid blacks, one blk & white pain in the bum and a freskish baldie!
