You may have heard that black cats are unlucky. This is an old superstition that dates back to the dark ages when black cats were unfairly tied to witches and witchcraft. This fortunately wasn't a universal myth. Black cats are considered lucky in many places, including Germany and Japan. That's a much better tactic to take!
The myths about black cats actually couldn't be further from the truth. Sadly, they have done a lot of harm over the years. Unfortunately, these misconceptions persist to this day and are the reason you often see black cats on Halloween decorations. It's also the reason that black cats have such a hard time getting adopted. They often spend much longer in shelters than other cats and are more likely to be brought to shelters in the first place.
If you're considering adopting a kitty, please think about getting a black cat. They're actually typically super sweet and lovable. Plus, they go with any outfit or décor!
