However, cat owners know this isn't true! Black cats can be unique and elegant in appearance. They're a great addition to any family. On National Black Cat Day, we remind pet owners to pay a little extra attention to their feline friends and celebrate just how beautiful they are!
History of Black Cat Superstitions:
The folklore behind black cats varies from culture to culture. However, in Western history, black cats have been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens. They are often associated with witchcraft and sorcery.
Dating back to the Pilgrims in Plymouth colony, it became a practice to rid the colony of black cats in an effort to protect the home. They thought that black cats could change into human shape. People include black cats as a symbol of Halloween in an effort to add a frightful aspect to their decor.
How to celebrate National Black Cat Day!
- Make Your Cat Feel Special - If you already have a cat (especially a black cat), make sure they get some extra love today. Buy your cat a new toy or a treat after spending an afternoon playing with them.
- Adopt a Cat - If you have been thinking about getting a cat and your family is ready for a new addition, it might be a good time to consider welcoming a new feline into your life. Black cats are often overlooked in shelters and aren't adopted as frequently as other cat breeds.
- Make a Donation - If you can't adopt or own a cat, consider making a small donation to a local animal shelter. Local shelters play a big role in helping keep cats off of the streets and placing them with a family.
