Many people around the world believe that black cats bring bad luck. Because of these superstitions, black cats are statistically less likely to be adopted from shelters than their colorful counterparts. But not all places in the world feel this way, for instance in Scotland, a black cat arriving at your home is believe to bring prosperity. In Britain and Japan if a black cat crosses your path it is considered good luck.
So next time you adopt a new furry feline, please consider giving a black cat a forever home. If you’re still having second thoughts about black cats, try spending some time with one and they’ll be sure to change your mind!
