Black Cats – Pet tip 170
You are walking down the street and a black cat crosses your path. What do you do? Whether you dismiss it or not, many people think of it as some kind of a bad omen. Black cats and bad luck is a superstition that has lived on even in modern society. Past events, and present misconceptions of these cats keep this unfortunate stereotype alive.
Black is a colour that often brings an emotional response. What do you think of when you imagine this colour? Night, darkness, boring, no colour, dark, evil, scary are all common (and generally negative) words to describe black. This negative connotation of the colour black also applies to black cats. The portrait of the black cat as an omen of bad luck began with accusations of witchcraft and witch-hunts many years ago. It was believed that black cats had magical powers that allowed them to transform themselves into witches.

Simon came to us by mistake...I almost ran him over at 2 in the morning one cold day in the dead of winter in Massachusetts while I was delivering newspapers. I tried unsuccessfully to find his owner, so he became ours. He was neutered and declawed when we got him.
We have a feeling that Simon might have been abused by his previous owners. He can't hear properly and sometimes walks into walls. He is the sweetest, fattest cat we've ever seen and is full of love =)
