I hereby declare Friday the 13th
as “Lucky Fridays”. Flying in the face of conventional
superstition, I go out of my way to pass paths with black cats. Not
everywhere are black cats considered a portent of ill omen. A few
lesser known facts about black cat superstition.
In Great Britain and in Ireland, black
cats are a symbol of good luck.
Black cats are also considered good
luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a
black cat will have many suitors.[I wounder if that bears true for
men also, having a choice of ladies]
In Germany, some believe that black
cats crossing a person's path from right to left, is a bad omen. But
from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.
Maneki Neko (Japanese Lucky Cat) each
color has a different meaning. A Black Lucky Cat: gets rid of badlucks.
Although she is not mine I feel
fortunate to have Blackie stop by and visit on a regular basis. Not
only is she a very beautiful cat, she also smells nice.
