Sadly, a lot of people are superstitious about black cats.
Back in the days of the Salem witch trials, black cats were thought to be "familiars" (or pets) of witches.

Some people still believe black cats bring bad luck and try to destroy them.
Even in our town, we are advised to keep all black cats inside around Halloween time.

Ignorance is hard to kill!!!!

My Chester is a black cat and he has brought nothing but love and good luck to me!!! He stays safely in the house with me at all times. All my cats do.
