In some countries, if a black cat comes into a house it is considered a lucky sign. People should not chase the cat away because the good luck will leave with the cat.
Black Cats and Halloween
Some believe that black cats have special powers and abilities. Others believe that black cats are witches in disguise. It is also believed that witches had black cats as helpers for performing their witchcraft. Others believe that black cats are the demon in disguise.
Black cats have become a Halloween symbol because it was believed that spirits could come back in the body of an animal. It was also believed that witches owned black cats because they were their spirit friends.
What is the Truth?
The truth is that black cats are just cats with black fur--just like you may have blonde hair and a friend of yours may have brown or red hair. It's just the way it happens. Like any animal, they must be treated with your love and care.
It is unfortunate that there are some people in the world who still believe in these superstitions and can bring harm to a black cat. If you do own a black cat, please keep it in the house at Halloween. Superstitions may be fun to read but some of them can be harmful.
I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!
The Pet Lady says: Please keep all your animals indoors at Halloween. They can be frightened by all the kids coming to your door. In some places, people use fireworks at Halloween and these really scare animals.
