Answer 8

Black cats have a bad rap and it is too bad.  Here in north america they are considered bad luck but in other countries such as italy and britain they are considered good luck.

They are also usually the first to be euthanized in shelters because they don't adopt as quickly as other colors.

Answer 9

People used to be afraid of black cats because about 100 years ago in Europe they used to think that black cats were witches pets. they thought that if you saw one, it was a bad omen. it's all a fake superstition. But I on the other hand have two little black kittens and think they are absolutely adorable so don't worry- Black cats are not evil or any thing. It's all just a myth.
