BLACK CAT DAY

Are black cats good …. or evil? The answer to this question depends upon where you live. In Celtic folklore, it was believed the cats turned into fairies and back. Upon arrival to the New World, Pilgrims put a twist on this belief. They believe these cats are evil and foreboding. They also believed it was a witch or a demon. Never let a black cat cross your path. It will bring bad luck. In Europe, they were once burned alive. People caught harboring one, were severely punished. In Egypt, Great Britain, and Japan, people have just the opposite opinion of black cats. People there, see them as bringing good luck and a good omen.
