A little about Black Cats
Hi there, my name is Leahy and I am a black cat. I am writting this because sometimes us black cats get a bad rep, but really we are all very nice.
Black cats are considered very unlucky in the European and European-American traditions. Some believe that black cats are witches in disguise, or witches reborn. Many animal-welfare groups warn that black cats are at special risk around Halloween, claiming that cultists pick up the animals for ritual torture. In Australia and Britain, black cats are though to be lucky, and in England, black cats are considered lucky and white cats unlucky.
Black cats are sleek and mysterious. In fact, I think black cats are really special and cool looking. Black cats are the Rolls Royce of cats. Black cats are the smartest and most loyal, and the easiest to train. Many cat owners testify to the possibility that cats are psychic, and in particular, black cats are sensitive to the supernatural. Black cats are just as lovable and peaceful as any other cat. Black cats are generally more relaxed and calm than white cats, who are more nervous.
Black cats are the chief idol of the goddess of Wicca, Diana.
Did you know that black cats are the ones most likely to be passed over for adoption?
I hope you will take time to see what else I have on my site
A Black Cat is Just a Cat

But when I brought him home, I discovered he didn't quite have the courage of the comic book hero. I made some mistakes which resulted in a month long struggle to coax him out of his hiding place to join the family.
I renamed him Bear, and he is wonderful cat, but my guests seem a little uncomfortable when he comes into the room. After all, he is completely black.
He is a black cat and some people are afraid of Black Cats
The Black Cat in History
Historically, black cats have been associated with omens, bad luck and, well...evil.
The poor unfortunate kitties have been used in rituals, and were supposedly the "familiars" of witches. Anarchism has used the symbol of the black cat, as has Wicca, the modern day expression of Witchcraft. Superstition has associated bad luck with having a black cat cross your path.
All-in-all, the black cat has been getting some really bad press for centuries, and all of that is not easily overcome in just a few short lines of this article.
Scaredy Cat
A very highly sensitive cat, our new black Bear was far more scared of us than we were of him, and we made a number of mistakes in the first hour of his introduction that practically destroyed our chances for introducing him to our home.
The process of first finding Bear where he had hidden in the house and gradually coaxing him out of his hiding place to join the family was long and agonizing. It took over a month, and I had almost despaired that we would ever acclimate him.
Patience won out, though
Superstition Dispelled
He is here to dispel the notion that a black cat means bad luck. He is one of the sweetest cats you'll ever meet, and there's absolutely *nothing* scary about him. And I can tell you for a fact that no bad luck is connected with Bear. He's crossed my path innumerable times, and so far I haven't experienced anything one might think of as "bad luck".
I have to say, though, that on Halloween night he seems to be scared of his own black shadow. But I try to keep him calmed down and happy to be where he is...in my lap purring as loud as he can!

Nice lens. I am owned by a couple of black cats myself, a female named Selkie and a male named Gryffin. I'm actually owned by a total of 6 cats, one of which is all white. I never did go in for all that bad luck nonsense either way. All my kitties are my babies regardless of color.

Peacekeeping operations are meant to be temporary measures. They are not expected to resolve a conflict. - Welcome to ChelseaMac.com homepage
- Hello there! My name is Chelsea and this is my attempt at making a web page. This internet stuff is pretty neat, but I can't do it on my own. This keyboard is just a little too small for my paws so my Daddy and my Uncle George will be helping me make it. I'm not really sure what I will put on this page, but I think for now it'll be some pictures of me and the people in life. I'm still working on it and adding things as I think of it, so keep coming back to see what I've done.
