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 cat! I've heard of these supersitions all my life, and must say I thought about them... but never really bought into them. I think he's just beautiful... and terrific lighting as well!
What a beauty!
Very well done!
...ma vuoi dirmi che ha questa nomea perchè si cadeva da cavallo? Povero gatto!A parte tutto penso che abbia ragione Ursula, io da quando ho i miei 4 gatti in giardino ho pochissimi uccellini, e la cosa non mi piace. In questa tua foto mi piace moltissimo l'equilibrio dei colori. Excellent photo. :-) gea
your Art is always GREAT
Very good shot.
Ohhh ist this sweet!!!
I love cats. I had the sweetest little black cat. He was sick when I took him in as a stray, and stayed in my room away from the other cats. His name was Sirius Black. He didn't live long, and I miss him. You've captured him doing what cats do so well. Staying very still and watching. There is a pounce just waiting to happen. Lovely color, detail and composition. Beautiful cat and great image!
You caught this so well... :)
Nicely captured Maria!
