In honor of Friday the 13th 2010 for the Ca$h Bash, this superstition cache was placed. Have fun at the Black Cat Lounge. Superstition, Prejudice, Bringer of Good or Bad Luck. The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. In Great Britain, black cats are a symbol of good luck. The Scottish believe that a strange black cat's arrival to the home signifies prosperity. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors.[1] However in Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches; other cultures also consider them to be bad luck. The black cat in folklore has been thought to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons. During the Middle Ages, these superstitions led people to kill black cats. This had the unintended consequence of increasing the rat population and the spread of the Black Plague and other diseases carried by rodents. Black cats have been found to have lower odds of adoption in American shelters compared to other colors (except brown). Superstition states also if a black cat walks towards you, you will have bad luck. If a black cat walks away from you then you will have good luck.
