A few facts that everyone should know if they have prejudices about black cats, they are a pat like any other.
First of all, i love them passionately.
Three thousand years before our era, in the early days of Egypt, cats were the most respected of all animals ,they admired their vitality and ability to survive a fall from great heights , and from this came the belief that cats have nine lives , and killing them punished they die.
However, a turning point occurred in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the hysteria about witches began. Namely, street cats often cared for and fed poor old ladies, who were later accused of witchcraft.
The black cat had a negative reputation and was considered a devilish creature, which is why it was almost extinct as a species. Although civilization has advanced significantly, there are still people who spit, get baptized and take three steps back, when a black cat crosses their path. Although this really sounds and looks ridiculous, superstitious people are sure that they drove away the "painter" in this way.
How ever, Some peoples celebrated it as a sacred animal, while others even burned it.
In fact, the cat is unjustly accused, she is a friend of the house, a favorite pet that has lived with man for thousands of years. It is also considered somewhere that great happiness is when you meet a cat on the road, no matter what color it is, because meeting something with a long tail also means long happiness.
Black cats are amazing creatures.When a black cat and a white cat are crossed, black kittens are born. Cats can't defend themselves or talk, to explain to superstitious people that their black color has nothing to do with anything bad.
There are 22 different types of black cats.The Bombay breed is completely black, the pigmentation of black hair is much higher in males than in females, and the high level of melanin in the pigment causes yellow eyes.
All black cats are in fact dark blue. In the appropriate light, the shades of their hair vary from charcoal black, gray-black to brown-black.
Thanks to a recessive gene that suppresses patterns, cats are monochromatic. Sometimes the patterns are not completely suppressed, so they can be seen in black cats in the light.
People who own black cats love them endlessly, while others fear them and are a mystery to them.
The Bombay cat is the only recognized black cat. It is the result of many years of selective multiplication, in order to get a real black cat.
Black cats and sailors
In ancient times, it was believed that black cats brought great happiness and security that sailors would return safely from sailing. That is why black cats were so expensive that most sailors could not afford them. It would probably mean a "matagot" to provide them with enough money.
Who would not love them when they spread such magic around themselves.
Cat LOvers :)
