Hey hoomans! You won't believe what we just learned on our way to work today. It seems that black cats stand for several completely distinct concepts. Let us begin with a fun fact that most of us are probably aware of—black cats were once thought to be a bad luck symbol. In the old days, when people still thought that witches roamed among us, people used to think that cats could mysteriously change their appearance and act as witches' go-betweens. The second fascinating fact—which, I must confess, I only learned about today—is that black cats are regarded as outstanding matchmakers in Japan. A woman searching for her soul mate may find that having a black cat helps draw in potential suitors. Isn't this fascinating?
So, in celebration of our current obsession, we've brought to you a thread dedicated to all things black cats, which is unbelievably adorable! And when you're done browsing, check out a cinematic series of cat memes and pics here!
