Black Cats Don’t Have Anything To Do With Bad Luck

ADVERTISEMENT

Often, when a black cat crosses your path, you think that you’ll have bad luck, especially when this happens on Friday the 13th. However, superstitions depend on the family you are from, as some are more superstitious than others. Superstitious people are worried when their mirror breaks because they believe they’ll have bad luck for the next 7 years. I’ve also heard many times that putting my bag on the floor is a bad omen as it will drain my wallet of money.

Black cats are the key to my cat photography project as I want people to realize that it’s irrational to say that black cats bring bad luck. My series consists of 13 cat photos. In my pictures, I show these beautiful cats in different situations – not only as sweet kittens willing to play but also as conquerors and vultures. I want to prove that black cats don’t differ from any other cat fur color. They are all the same adorable cats.

We have only ever adopted black cats. They are the least likely to find good homes. I will never own any other type of cat.

I rescue black cats now because of this ludicrous stigma. They are the most euthanized feline due to that. People are dumb. <3myblkfurbabies

I do the same thing. I've had three wonderful black cats over the last 10 years. I will never adopt any other type of cat.
