Does black cats reallz bring bad luck???

Are black cats lucky or unlucky? The black cat is seen as an extremely lucky omen and is welcomed as a sign of good luck to come.
In ancient times cats were animals to be revered and in Ancient Egypt the humble cat was worshiped as a sacred animal. The Romans also held the cat in high regard and introduced cats as pets throughout Europe. the black cat also saw a downturn in its luck. Cats, and in particularly black cats, (deemed the colour of evil) were seen as “Witch’s Familiars” or partners in crime to the accused Witch, and the poor animal suffered similar fates to those of their mistresses. In Witch trials, ownership of a cat was taken as evidence of witchcraft and was all the proof needed to condemn both the woman and the cat to a terrible fate. The cat, and in particular the black cat, came to be seen as a very lucky omen.
Good luck superstitions surrounding the black cat sprung up. To have a black cat as a ship’s cat ensured the safety of the sailors on board. Similarly, wives of fishermen who kept black cats were assured the safe return of their husbands, despite often perilous sea conditions. Newly weds were often given a black cat to bring them luck for their future together.
It is considered extremely good luck:
-To own a black cat.
All black cats are lucky but the luckiest black cat is said to be female, completely jet black with black whiskers and green eyes. If you come across a cat such as this, repeat this rhyme and good luck is sure to come your way.
