Happy National Black Cat Day! Should it be international instead of national? Yes. But I'm not in charge so I can't do anything about it. Woodcut by Eileen Mayo, 1938. Source.

The Mighty Licorice, for Black Cat Day (10/27). At 19+ (now 93 human years), he is the longest-lived cat who's ever owned me. And still going strong. Best luck ever.
Tablet 45.28 from the Mesopotamian Šumma alu:
"If a black cat is seen in a man’s house, that land will experience good fortune."

Happy National Black Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛
This occasion brings together cat lovers from all over to express their love and admiration for these enigmatic feline friends. 🖤 These beautiful black cats have long been the subject of myths and superstitions, but today we aim to debunk those misconceptions and celebrate them for the unique and lovable companions they are.
Throughout history, black cats have been associated with various cultural beliefs. In ancient Egypt, they were revered and seen as symbols of good luck, often associated with the goddess Bastet, who represented home, fertility, and childbirth. However, in medieval Europe, black cats were linked to superstitions and often feared, with many believing they were witches' familiars. These superstitions led to the persecution and even mass killings of black cats during the witch hunt era. Fortunately, society has come a long way, and black cats are now cherished as pets in many households.
National Black Cat Day serves as a reminder that these animals, like any other, deserve love, care, and respect. It's an opportunity for cat enthusiasts to show their affection for these elegant and mysterious felines and to dispel any lingering prejudices against them. Whether you already have a black cat as a beloved companion or are considering adopting one, today is the day to celebrate and share the love.
For more black cat content, take a look at JSTOR Daily's "Nine Black Cat Stickers."
