This is Betty when she was a starving stray cat not long before we have adopted her.
Not long ago I have posted about the prejudice against black cats https://steemit.com/blackcat/@cat-isa/black-cats-superstition-and-prejudice
I would like to understand what happens in other countries. I also would like to fight against how people perceive black cats as "bad luck" or bad.
Please share your opinion in the comment section and resteem if you want.
Thank you so much!
Happy Caturday everyone!

I know here in the US, there is an issue of black kittens getting to be the LAST to be adopted from animal shelters because of old superstitions that they are "bad luck."
And now there's evidently a NEW problem: Younger people are less likely to adopt black cats because — believe it or not — "they don't show up as well in selfies." Talk about superficial nation.

Thank you so much for contributing with your opinion about this subject. It saddens me to realize that we are still influenced by stupid superstitions like this. Realizing it is a worldwide phenomenon it's even more disturbing.
I have already read about the issue of selfies and black cats. I have no words to describe how shallow and superficial this people are.
Keep on promoting black cats!

Where I live, some of the older folks tend to think cats in general are unlucky but not all that seriously. And personally I've felt that more people here do prefer the looks of lighter colored cats. I'm in Korea.

Thank you so much for your opinion! I believe that even people which doesn't actually believe in superstitions tend to prefer cats that aren't black.
It's sad. However it's interesting to observe how countries in different continents are so similar in matters like this.

Well, my vet once expressed a similar superstitious belief but in a really sweet and positive way. He told me he believed that black cats are more spiritual, and therefore much more sensitive to our feelings. :)

That's nice. It's interesting how superstition can also be a positive thing. The positive side of superstition is spiritual belief.
