BLACK CATS are Beautiful, Loyal, Affectionate Cats and Kittens
 

The origin of the BLACK CAT AND GOOD LUCK is said to have begun in Ancient Egypt with Bast (Bastet) the Goddess and protector of cats, women and children.

For centuries, BLACK CATS have been associated with deities, witches and magic. Cats have been worshipped, condemned, persecuted, have been thought of as having powers, as being the omens of bad luck and being also a good luck charm.

In western culture, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of bad omens. In most other cultures, the black cat is a prized possession and owning one, is said to bring the owner good luck.

Part of the mystery surrounding the black cat may come from interpretation of the color black which depicts night and evil. But, black can also be a color of elegance or class (such as a black-tie event). Black can also represent ideas such as power, sexuality, sophistication, formality, wealth, mystery, fear, evil, unhappiness, depth, style, sadness, remorse, and anger.

In many cultures if a black cat walks into your house or home, you are truly blessed.
