Is this realy true for black cats :(

Wow, the world is so twisted.

Poor black kitties.

Unfortunately, it is certainly so in particular satanic groups.

Sorry to whomever might be a satanist in the group. I am just pointing out things I have seen through documentary and such.

I have a friend in cat rescue and no black cats are adopted from October until well into November.

Yes, people just suck...I would love to hit every single one of them over the head with a 2x4 to knock some sense into their sick little minds.

I know Satanists and I know nothing of the "real" Satanists sacrificing black cats, but, I will certainly check with them.

My rescue has only black cats at the Petsmart adoption center right now. I asked the one board member if she realized it and she said that she had a fight with the president last year over it.... she figures that we screen so rigidly already that there's no way a crackjob would get their hands on our black cats. She has a point. We really do have a strict screeing process.

I would think it would be superstitious people who think they are "eliminating" evil who might kill black cats - not the devils-witches-black magic groups, who revere black cats, no?
I had a black cat that I found in a cemetery, naturally, I named him Spook. I kept him in on Halloween because I worried someone might try to run him down or something stupid like that. I think black animals in general get a bad rap.

All I know is that there are a lot of sickos out there. Anyone who can find it enjoyable to kill something is really a threat to our society.

Its not just October that's a problem. Black cats have a harder time getting adopted year-round. Whatever colour, my cats are NEVER let outside on their own. I'm surprised to see how many people here say they keep their cats inside around halloween, as if they are safe from the perils of the outdoors the rest of the year?

Let's not start that argument in this thread.

We live in a weird weird world. Some people hurt innocent animals for no reason. When I was younger, two of our cats were poisoned for no reason we ever knew about. They were poisoned at the same time and we always had a feeling we knew who did it but couldn't prove it. They were not black cats nor were they mean. I decided then when I grew up all my animals would stay in the house.

I think sometimes people invent excuses to be mean (like the cats were chasing birds or some nonsense). That makes them believe they have a right to hurt the innocent. It's sort of like people who abuse children trying to use the excuse they were abused as a child. That is such a cop out!!! Millions of people are abused every day but don't go out and abuse any one else.

There are two things that make me really mad and they are animal and child abuse!!! These is no excuse for either in my opinion.

It is true, but so sad. Around here the superstition is to "stay away from them" and not to go near them, so in other words, leave them alone. I've never heard of them desroying them. So so sad.
