It is a common superstition that black cats will bring you bad luck. This is so prevalent that black cats are harder to find homes for and some shelters will even offer incentives if you adopt a black cat. However, black cats don’t cause any more problems than any other color cat. And in some countries, black cats are considered good luck. Of course, a black coat will create a very distinctive contrast with your cat’s eyes, making them even more piercing and beautiful. These cats can be very handsome. One downfall is that allergy sufferers will be more likely to have a reaction to a darker color cat than a light colored one. And the reaction may be more severe so someone with a mild allergy may have a lot of trouble with a black cat. Keep this in mind when selecting your cat for adoption.
