Homonym: black cats (Superstition)
Black cats are domestic cats with a coat that is entirely black. They belong to various breeds and can have different eye colors, including green, yellow, or copper. Black cats are often associated with superstitions, particularly in Western cultures, where they are sometimes seen as omens of bad luck. However, in many cultures, such as in Japan and Scotland, they are considered symbols of good fortune.
Despite the myths surrounding them, black cats are just like any other cats in terms of behavior and personality. They can be playful, affectionate, and independent. Many animal shelters report that black cats are often overlooked for adoption, leading to a higher population of black cats in shelters compared to other colors.
