Description
On Renderosity, there are many people who love cats.. dedicated to them is this picture of a cat hated by other people because "harbinger" of doom!
In ancient Egypt, the black cat was considered to be the bearer of luck. The families who owned a black cat got sick less than those who do not have one, also were able to catch mice, rats, scorpions and snakes. The black cat had religious significance, in fact, was associated with the cult of Isis, the goddess who had his own kingdom in the night.
But then, why was this superstition born?
In the Middle Ages, they were considered evil companions of witches for the black colour which by their habit of going out at night: that those who had one was condemned to the stake, in addition the black cat was barely visible in the dark because of the colour and so did runaway the horses, hurling the riders violently to the ground.
Have a great weekend! :)

Beautiful and lovely cat!!!
They are very bad luck on staircases at night. ;) Good thing we only had a short staircase. Beautiful capture and cat too! :D
excellent shot
beautiful !
Questione molto dibattuta tra fortuna e no ! Di sicuro , per quello che ho visto io , i gatti neri sono molto vivaci ! Ne avevo uno che chiamavo Belzebù , piuttosto dispettoso , poi un giorno è sparito e non l'ho più visto !A parte questo bella foto , molto equilibrata nella composizione !
A beautiful black kitten and a marvelous photo! The cats are indeed pretty, but in my garden I do not like them!. They lurk on the birds and use my flower beds as a toilet :-((
What a beautiful cat. Excellent shot!!
A lovely capture of this pussycat. He is the same colour as our cat and he has bought us heaps of luck and lots of pleasure.
