How is the character of the black cat? During the Middle Ages it was believed that they were carriers of the bubonic plague, a disease that killed people in a matter of days or weeks; Yet today we know that this was nothing more than a myth, one that led thousands, perhaps millions, of felines to their tragic end.
However, despite the time that has passed, there are still people who think that having a black cat or meeting him is nothing but bad luck. But is that true? Of course not.
Although it is true that color does not determine the character of cats -or of any animal including people-, those of us who have lived or live with one or more panthers know how special they are. They tend to be somewhat calmer than the rest, more affectionate. Just as the orange cat is the sweetheart of the cat world, the black one is a bit more reserved. It tends to gain a lot of confidence in a single member of the family, from whom you will not like to be apart for a long time.
But yes, there will be times when he behaves like a real panther, that is, times when he will prefer to be alone in a room. But in others he will look for you and ask for pampering, either with soft meows, rubbing against you or, directly, climbing up on your lap.
So why are there so many black cats in animal shelters and shelters? They are very good furry, but they can do nothing against ignorance or fear. Currently these felines are the ones that continue to suffer the worst, unlike cats that have hair of other colors.
From experience I can tell you that having a black cat is not going to bring you bad luck, because that is something that we attract depending on the things we do in our day to day. However, yes that It will give you a lot of joys, a lot of love, and company.
In our case it is just as you say! Each one has their black cat, very close to their humans, calm with visits (despite the fact that they spend months without seeing anyone else, and they were barely socialized as puppies) and very affectionate. And each one has a cat of another color (his red tabby, mine calico), affectionate but elusive, and nervous with strangers (even when they bring the purchase, and they do not have to see it). Coincidence?
In England black cats bring good luck. Better. As a child I asked my mother what kind of luck they gave and she answered that she thought it was good. Because total, the animal goes to his own thing and that it happens does not mean anything, but if he had to believe something, that was good.
Dodgy? like panthers? My neighbor's cat is completely black, and I don't know if it will be because she knows that not even scratching me will make me stop grabbing it and giving it a hug. you are going to do the same! » hahaha.
Seriously, that cat is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. When she comes in to shake him and when she is not to feed him, it is in those moments that he is at my mercy and I at his. I lie on the sofa, he climbs on top of me and we sleep together for a couple of hours. more than tranquilitas the two. I love when he purrs and licks me.
