13 Adorable Black Cats To Bring You Good Luck This Friday 13th
As the old (and completely untrue) saying goes, "It's bad luck if a black cat crosses your path." On Friday the 13th (and Halloween) the negative hype around black cats and their bringing "bad luck" only intensifies. Unfortunately, this baseless negative association with bad luck can mean that black cats are less likely to be adopted than cats with different fur colors.
With millions of homeless cats in the U.S., many of them black-furred, we think it’s about time for this silly superstition to skedaddle. In fact, did you know that in many cultures across the world, black cats are actually considered good omens, whether it be blessing a ship for safe passage or bringing good luck to a bride on her wedding day? So this Friday the 13th, we're bringing you some lucky black cats and celebrating our inkiest of felines looking completely adorable!

Adorable. I rescued a blk stray and named her Eboni. She’s so sweet and loves to snuggle.
Hi I live in Australia and thank god the black cat Superstition is not rampant here black cats are quite hard to get here I have one and they’re the most beautiful cats in the world I went to the vet and she told me that black cats are really hard to get in Australia because they are really popular thank god I got mine I love him they really are the best
I am convinced I was a black cat in a former life >’•’<
I seriously can’t believe the ignorance that still prevails — in 2019!!! This is alien to my background and I do not understand it at all
Aesthetically, black cats are my favorites — they are the most elegant, stylish, glossy, and beautiful of all cats (though I love every cat, of every species!)
I make a point of adopting black cats before others.I especially like older black cats even if they come with behaviour problems.(ahem,George).I don’t understand the superstitious nonsense about black cats and it seems when you debunk one superstition to the person throwing them at you they either come out with another one or declare black cats are cruel,ugly,unnatural,etc,all in an attempt to justify the irrational..Black cats are awesome and always match your interior design.
