You might be surprised to discover that the Black Cat was a symbol for good luck in Britain, Japan and in Ireland, while to the Scottish a black cat visiting your home would be a sign of prosperity.
Black cats have also taken the brunt of Human unkindness between being labeled a familiar of witches and a servant of Satan.
In fact, it is highly probable that the killing of black cats as witches familiars lead to rapid growth of the Bubonic or Black Plague in it’s hey day.
Most of these animals were owned by poor widowed woman or woman who never married and were kept for companionship. but for hundreds of years cats, and black cats in particular were slaughtered by man in the millions.
