	Do you all get tired of the bad rap that black kitties get? How come everyone thinks we are spooky and bad luck? My mom thinks that we are good luck... Does anyone know the origin of the whole black cat crossing your path supertition?

	that goes back to the "stupid days" of the witch hunts. cats were "familiars" so any old lady with an "unholy fascination" with cats was considered a witch. black is "evil" coloring in western culture and associated with death... so stupid people who could apparently add 2+2 decided that black cats were evil and used to burn them at the stake for being witches. much of this belief was purpatrated by the christian/catholic church in an effort to convert the masses. the "witches" were really just village wisewomen who knew something of herbs. all the persecution of cats in the middle ages led to the proliferation of the Black Plague from a rat population that exploded unchecked.

	It always makes me sad to go into Petsmart and most of the kittys up for adoption are black. Black cats are so beautiful and affectionate. I've always had a soft spot for them and so does my husband. We are the PROUD parents to 3 beautiful black meowers !
