Black Cat:
Origination: The apprehension surrounding black cats originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. As their population increased in urban areas, they began to be regarded as nuisances. Being nocturnal creatures, cats are active at night; consequently, their swift movements and eyes that appeared to “glow” in the dark contributed to their association with darkness, enigma, and malevolence.

Mystically Speaking: The historical connections between black cats and magic, as well as witchcraft, can be traced back to ancient Greece, where they were associated with Hecate. As the goddess of magic, sorcery, the moon, and witchcraft, this association laid the groundwork for what would evolve into a perilous stigma.

What Breed of Cat is a Black Cat? Persian cats, often referred to as the black cat star, effortlessly capture the affection of their owners, establishing themselves as one of the most favored breeds among black cats. Their gentle temperament renders them ideal companions for households with children or for elderly individuals seeking a calm and affectionate feline.

The Movies? Black cats have been featured in the past over the years and even centuries, in movies, plays, and television.

Cuddling With Kitty: It is possible to have some quality time for snuggling. Depending on the personality of your cat, they may not be fond of hugs. Nevertheless, touch plays a crucial role in communication for cats, just like other animals. If you are lucky to have a cat companion, any affection they show you should be cherished. Some cats may stick by your side and enjoy cuddling frequently, even though not all cats are keen on cuddling.

Resources of Cats: The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Inc. recognizes the admiration of pure-bred cats and obedience.

Celebrated: National Black Cat Appreciation Day is celebrated every year on August 17^th.

Other Concerns:
Halloween: If you are an owner of a black cat, make sure that your security is at a high point during the Halloween season, due to the fact that unfortunately there are people out there who may steal your black cat for the season, and who knows the outcome! My Blackie never went out and learned to hate the Halloween season, because he loved to go outside.

A Companion and a Friend:
All cats, especially black cats serve as loyal companions, friends and a very important extension of your family. They are a lovely blessing and deserve the warmth and compassion to be loved.
