What do you do if a black cat crosses your path?

Question

Isn't that like year's and year's bad luck?Is there a way to counter it?

Answer 1

You run over the d**n thing.  There are plenty more out there so keep tally of your score and compare with others.

Answer 2

I own two cats. I know that the myth is that if a black cat crosses you, or something like that they're bad luck. I've owned my black cat for 2.5 years and nothing bad has happened to either of us. It's not animals you need to worry about such as cats, it's more humans really. Especially all the psycho's out there.

Answer 3

Interestingly that bad luck thing only holds for parts of the US and Europe. That very same belief in Japan is flipped on its head- they believe it is good luck. The next time a black cat crosses your path, just say “Konichiwa” and take control of your own luck.

Answer 4

I like cats,,,there is no such thing as luck

Answer 5

I own a black cat as well. I haven't had any change in my luck since getting her. It's a myth.

Answer 6

first catch the cat, skin it, place it in a cauldron along with five litres of water from the pacific ocean, eight beetle wings, a handfull of purple pansies and a squeese of lime juice, heat until it boils then add a moon rock roughly the size of your palm, leave to simmer for thirty-seven hours, pour the potion in to a yellow stone bottle, leave outside until the next full moon and drink.........or you could stop being a superstitious ****-wit.

Answer 7

You should pick it up and cuddle it!

haha no seriously i don't believe in that coz i have a black kitten ( her name's Pandora) and i haven't had any bad luck with her shes just cute! so don't worry just love the kitty!

Answer 8

I walk up to it and cuddle with the kitty.

Answer 9

The cat will have s*x with your spouse, burn your toast, pee into your beer, infect your computer with the Good Times virus, put sugar into the tank of your car, post inane questions in your name on Yahoo Answers, leave bread crumbs in your bed, sell your e-mail address to spammers and meow all night under your window.  The only way to avoid this fate is to move to this beautiful oceanfront property in Siberia I have for sale at a special price only for you, only today.  It's guaranteed to have no black cats within hundreds of kilometers.

Answer 10

I used to have a black cat she was a good cat dude if a black cat crossed your path nothing happens we held her i think you will be fine

Answer 11

Just keep walking and don't believe in this superstitious BS, you'll be fine.

Answer 12

Say "hi kitty" and pet it.

Answer 13

I usually say "hello darling". In general this gets a positive response. I should say that I do this to all cats, whatever their colour or markings.

Answer 14
