Help answer this question below.
Black Cats are actually good luck. I can't remember the reason why they are supposed to bring good luck or why some people say it's bad, but in the old days, having a black cat in your house was supposed to bring good health to your family in the time of the plague. Cats were also sacred animals in ancient Egypt. Perhaps there is a connection.
No, I don't!
no i dont because i dont think animals are bad luck and i dont think being black means you are bad luck.
Only for themselves, really. Every one I've had has been killed by neighbors, coyotes, or cars.
My cat is black. I knew there was a reason for my bad luck! :)
Nope. My family actually has a black cat for a pet.
No,I'm not superstitious.
Let me go check . . . No, she's cranky, but over all she's been a good cat in our home for about 14 years.
absolutely not is just in your mind
It's just the color of their fur.
How could anyone possibly think that of me?? :o)
I have always had a black cat for some reason. They all have died prematurely due to cars, dogs, disease, so they themselves are unlucky I suppose...
Nope, but I know that a lot of people do! That's why, when I was a kid, we kept our black cat locked up in the house on Halloween so nobody would do something stupid to her on that superstitious day!
NO i do not if that was so i would all kinds of bad luck.
How could this cutie be "bad luck?"
Diesel aka Grunty McGee. :o)

Yeah , there's one who poops in my garden and when I leave for work in the dark I always slip in it !!!
No, but they are good to eat. :-)
no ive got 2 and im not unlucky definatley
No, i had two black cats that lived about 16 years.
But my Whitey died when he was only 8. :(
I think all cats of whatever color are magical and mysterious. That is their job. Bad luck? Naw. That's just fuzzy thinking! :)
They are not bad luck! Ours is quite nice although I dont think shes magical or mysterious either.
No, I'm not superstitious. Why blame the poor kitty.
Nothing is bad luck.
Yes! but only because I'm allergic to cats (whatever color)
But seriously, not really; I'm not superstitious :)
No i don't the one purring on my lap doesn't either
Perhaps not, but I let my cat out Tuesday night to eat a bit of grass when he spied a black cat and chased him down the street and around the corner.
We didn't see our cat again until Thursday morning.
Worried us sick.
THAT black cat was DEFINITELY bad luck.

It would suck if I believed that black cats are bad luck...I live with one!
Absolutely not. In times of trouble people will always look for someone or something to blame. When I think of all the beautiful felines that have perished because of that ridiculous superstition it just makes me want to go postal.
There is a neighborhood near here every year that kills a black cat and puts it on my friend's doorstep. If I EVER catch who did that, they will wish they had slit their own throat.
Absolutely not. I have black cats and a Siamese cat. They're a delight. They are strictly indoor cats and I do everything to keep them safe, healthy and well cared for.
If the people that abuse such wonderful creatures were caught and given the same kind of abuse and punishment..That would be justice!
naw
No
Hello, no i don't,i have a black cat and its the best cat i have ever had,he listens when i tell him no, he is so loveable and very affectionate and pats me on the face to get me up in the mornings and if i walk by him ,he pats me on the arm to get my attention and when iam bent over looking out the window, he climbs on my back and lays down looking out the window with me, we have a gray cat and he doesn't do any of that and i wouldn't trade my black cat for any cat out their as the black cats are the greatiest as far as iam concerned.my grandmother was that way with black cats and she would make my grandfather turn around and go the other way if she seen a black cat crossing the road.i use to think she was nuts and you know what she had to be on black cats, as mine is the most loveing cat i have ever had and if something would happen to him i would get another one.it what people what to believe and its not true.people don't know what they are missing of haveing one. wendy
They always beat me at rolling dice.
Absolutely not. Cats, black and otherwise, are just cool.
No, I am not supersticious.
In the old days, black cats were associated with witches and were seen as witchcraft objects, so the people were mad and burned the cats and witches because witchcraft was a wicked and ugly thing for Christians to see. People don't like magic and the occult. In some places, black cats were considered good luck. I don't considered any animal good or bad but they're just animals. That doesn't mean black cats are bad or good.
Yes. Because I have one.
If anything, hungry black cats are the opposite --- they'll gobble up the disease-ridden mice & rats & leave us all the healthier!
no, how could that be possible?
No, we had a black cat in my neighborhood where I grew up.
I think they're good luck and very smart!Because the stupid ones have already been killed off by superstitious people!
No. We're just making them scapegoats for our bad luck.
If I thought black cats were bad luck, I'd be in a heap of trouble -- my Mojo and Princess Smurf are both solid black. My Lucy La-La, Tipper, and Cocoa are both Tuxedo kitties (black with white feet and white chests), plus I have my neighbors' abandoned black cat, Bagheera, in my bathroom, with her six kittens, three of which are solid black. They don't bring me bad luck -- they bring me lots of love.
no they are not you mean mean person!!
Nah, they're good luck!:)
No way! I have two black cats right now. :) One is mine, one is a foster cat.
Nope. Mine is called Reggie. Look at that cute evilness to him.
No, although I don't see them very often= and my grandma gave me a plush black cat when I was a child, nothing happened (although maybe because it was fake, regardless, their cute).
nope, i don't think they are.
no
Do you turn around if a black cat crosses the road in front of you while driving, or does it not bother you?

Why are black cats considered bad luck in the U.S.A., but in Britain they consider white cats bad luck?
