Bad luck? Where is that coming from? Black cats are beautiful creatures and far from bad luck. Please, don’t believe everything you hear.

Yes, but only by either really ignorant people or those with a serious mental illness.

Nope. But people, who harm them due to medieval superstitions are truly bad.
What's next? Witch burnings? Drowning tests for supposed witches? (A successful drowning meant it wasn't a witch after all, but surviving it meant to be a "proven" witch, who had to be killed in another way.) Holy wars, crusades and massacres of "heathens", who won't convert?
I keep wondering where mankind is going to in the year 2026, despite all the tech and knowledge at hand.

Depends where you live. In a lot of cultures and times black cats were actually a sign of luck as well, like in Scotland I believe.

Only if you believe in Father Christmas, the Easter bunny, vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards and ghosts. If not then your black cat shouldn’t be an issue.

Only if you are a complete moron! Sorry to sound rude but it's nonsense. Incidently in the UK, black cats are considered good luck. It's just superstitious rubbish.

No if you have the chance to share life with one you should consider yourself to be very lucky

Some people believe so. I've been jokingly told they were bad luck all my life but nobody really believed it. You will notice a lot of black cat decorations around Halloween because the black cat is the witch's familiar. Her familiar doesn't have to be a cat, though.
