For all of you black cat lovers, this article shows you coffee mugs with black cats.

There’s a couple of teaspoons that have crept into the mix but they are cute and still black cat themed.

There’s no reason these mugs just have to be for coffee. I drink a fair amount of hot tea and still use my cute mugs. In fact, in recent healthier times, I have even had plain old hot water in my mug. I know, it’s weird, but actually it’s not too bad at all.

BTW, did you know that August 17th is Black Cat Appreciation Day?

Black Cat Superstitions

Superstition surrounds black cats, for example, a black cat crossing in front of us can mean to some that some bad luck is going to follow but this isn’t the same for all cultures.

Why do black cats have so many bad omens attributed to them?

It would appear that many of these superstitions have their roots in the Middle Ages, a time when superstition was common and people were driven by fear and lack of knowledge.

In different parts of the world, superstitions surrounding black cats vary however there are still vestiges of those superstitions that remain today.

For example, most people would have a reaction to a black cat passing in front of them whether it be positive or negative.

It is not something that we attach much thought to apart from it being a superstition.

Black Cat Superstitions From Times Past

In Germany, children were kept away from black cats as black cats were seen as omens of evil.
In times past, coming across a black cat in the twilight was thought to be unlucky.

If a black cat appeared in an unwell person’s room, it was said to signal death.
Men and women reputed to be wizards and witches chose black cats as their companions and were even suspected of actually being shape-shifters (the ability to change into human shape).
The folklore about black cats differs significantly from culture to culture, as would be expected. For example, in Scotland, if a black cat arrived at your house, it was said to bring good fortune. The fairy known as Cat Sith in Scottish folklore takes the form of a large black cat.

It is quite fascinating to read and interpret the information with our modern views, which are not harboured in deep suspicion and ancient rites. We can see how some of these traditions have evolved from times past and how they are linked to modern traditions.
Fortunately for black cats, they are thought to bring good luck to those in Britain and Japan.
In the UK, when a black cat crosses your path, it is a good omen, and people will often make a positive comment regarding their good luck.

Note: Everyone in the photo is smiling except for one person who looks decidedly unhappy. Maybe he knows something about Blackie that the others don’t.
