I wholeheartedly agree Carole. There is a long list of black cats and superstition, there is a longer list of why cats are bad for everything from allergies to birdlife.

What people(s) don't understand is that cats have been here a little longer (by a few thousand years) than what we have.

I think its a tragic situation that we are supposed to be a rational society and some of us still beleive that cats harbour somekind of fictional evil in them.
