Why Black Cats Are Linked to Halloween

The association between black cats and Halloween dates back centuries, to a time when these animals were seen as magical beings. In the Middle Ages, black cats were thought to be companions of witches or even witches themselves in disguise. This led to the superstition that black cats brought bad luck, especially if they crossed your path.

Today, these beliefs are understood as mere myths, yet some people still hold onto the idea that black cats have a negative influence. Sadly, this can lead to black cats being targeted for cruel pranks or malicious acts, particularly during Halloween. It’s important to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of cats, especially black ones, at this time.
