- If a black cat crosses your path, you will have good luck. If the cat's name is William, you will have extreme good luck.
- It's believed by some that black cats have special powers and abilities. If the cat's name is William, he will have unbelievable special powers and abilities.
- If a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it takes the good luck with it. Unless the walking away cat's name is William–he's just getting treats or something.
- To meet a black cat is usually fortunate, but in some places the luck is only considered released if the cat is politely greeted, or stroked three times. Personally I like "Hi, William! I missed you a bunch today!" and lots of rubs on the belly.
- If a black cat comes into the house, it is considered a very lucky sign, and the cat should never be chased away in case it takes the luck of the house with it. If the black cat's name is William, his new mom probably said, "William, I'm so glad you came to live with me. I am so so lucky to have you."

And you'll have the best luck of all if you let that black cats sit in your lap. 'Specially if that black cat's name is Jack!
ReplyDeleteBlack cat superstitions are stupid!
William, my mom says she's always known you were especially lucky, but its important to set all the stupidstitious people straight on black cats and your special lucky powers.
ReplyDeleteYea, I bet you're right that some jealous dogs came up with the superstitious lies.
And don't forget if the black cat looks in a broken mirror, the cat will bring you 7 years good luck.
ReplyDeleteMommy says that cuddling with a black cat is especially lucky.
ReplyDeleteWait. Hey .....
I think black cats bring good luck too.
ReplyDeleteThose things just confirm what we already knew about you Wm. Mom had a black cat named Shadow (one of those that came before us) and she said Shadow was a good cat, so I believe everything you said about black cats.

Yup, your mom is pretty lucky. See, it's true!
ReplyDeleteThose are really good truthy things William.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, we're lucky to have you on our side. Let's hear it for Black Cats everywhere!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for black cats! They are very lucky to have around.
ReplyDeleteWell I never believed any of the bad things about black cats, but I also didn't know just how lucky they could be! That's wonderful to know... for when we tell Mom we want another brother or a sister!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom says her friend from England says that over there black cats are good luck. I think I like England (I'm a black cat too).
ReplyDeleteBlack cats, white cats, tabby cats, calico cats; they all bring good fortune to people who treat them well. Our mom has had two black cats in her life and they brought her much joy.
