Is this realy true for black cats :(

[Argranade]

On Halloween I read that,

People will kill and destroy black cats so evil wont come, this person posted about it so people won't give away their black kittens on that day.

That's so stupid, I hope it's not true, it's ONLY a damn colour of fur.

[Glacier]

It is absolutely true. Black cats are at great risk during this time of year. Lots of shelters won't adopt black cats out during October.

I've always heard that shelters won't let people adopt black cats around this time of year as well.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Now that's just stupid.

P.S. As If It matters, my friend adopted a black cat, and I adopted a black dog both within 4 days of each other We hadn't even planned it that way. We both fell in love... In OCTOBER. The smart people don't care.

In our area (Chicago, Illinois), the adoption centers and rescue groups hide their black cats at the beginning of October until November. For their safety.



I sometimes dispair for our civilization.

[Almita]

That is just so crazy just because of the superstition. I believed that you never cross near a black cat in October. Well i was little but now that is just over board. to not adopt them what so ever on October.

at the shelter where i volunteer, we won't adopt out black cats, period until November. plus, we urge people to keep their cats inside at this time of year.

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.

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.

Oh, no...A year from yesterday ago (October 25), I had to give my black cat Melodi away and I don't know if any shelters took him in.

How the....*barfs*

Heck, there must be some really gullible people out there if they believe a black cat will bring them bad luck. I wonder if they skip off into the fields in search for a pot of gold every time a rainbow appears

[Cubby'sMom]

Yep, this is the truth. They also hurt orange cats too I believe. Keep ALL of your cats inside for Halloween, not just black ones. People also hurt cats and other small animals on 4th of July. I heard that some stupid kids shot of a firework with a kitten strapped to it

My sentiments exactly, Zara.

You make me giggle like a little schoolgirl.

[Ginger's Mom]

I had never heard of any of this.
