The black cat is a feline whose fur is uniformly black. It is not a particular breed of cat and may be mixed or of a specific breed. Historically, black cats were symbolically associated with witchcraft and evil. Originally in Britain and Europe, a black cat crossing one's path was considered good luck however they were also seen by the church as associated with witches.In places which weren't affected particularly by witch hunts, they retained their status as good luck, and are still considered as such in Japan, Britain and Egypt.n Russia, there is still a popular belief that if a black cat crosses a person's path in the street, that person should either choose a different direction in order to walk around the cat's path or cross it holding a button in his or her fingers.
