Are black cats/any kind of cats inherently evil?
Okay...so Halloween is coming up...and so are black cats, etc.
Well, this brings an idea to my mind.
I was at work a couple of weeks ago...(I have a new job now...but alas...) and this guy was all freaked out about the fact that I have in my companionship 3 black cats.
(We didn't spay our cat early enough...and she had these kittens...in which 3 were black.) And he told me that whenever he sees a black cat in the road/wherever...he tries to run over it/kill it because of the whole term that if a "black cat crosses your path it is bad luck" or something like that.
And he totally feels justified in this.
I just couldn't believe that people still think this way.
Thoughts?
Does anyone know where this superstition/whatever came from?
Are cats inherently evil?
(And no, I have an affinity for cats...I was just wondering what some other people thought.)
Kudos!

Punch this "person" in the face for me next time you see it.
Ignorant, superstitious sadists like that are evil, not cats.

Agreeance.
I'm just not sure where the whole "black cats are evil" thing started from.
Does it have any basis in the fact that cats are sometimes viewed as guardians....or something?
(I've heard my brother say that alot...I'm not sure if that is a part of a religion or whatever.) Or maybe it's because they have big eyes...or something..but all cats have those...not just black ones...

I think Christians have a long history of hating cats, associating them with witches and such.
Who knows why.

Well, I don't think cats are evil.
But dogs are MUCH cooler.

Oh wow.
I might have hit him.
Not because of the car thing, but because of the astronomical stupidity of what he's said.

Ok, that made me chuckle involuntarily.
She should have replied to the guy with that.

I'd better stay outta Dallas.
My life will never get back on the right track luckwise.

A black dog is a spectral being found primarily in the folklores of the British Isles.
The black dog is essentially a nocturnal spectre, often said to be associated with the Devil, and its appearance was regarded as a portent of death.
It is generally supposed to be larger than a physical dog, and often has large, glowing eyes.
It is often associated with electrical storms (such as Black Shuck's appearance at Bungay, Suffolk), and also with crossroads, places of execution and ancient pathways.
Its Welsh form is confined to the sea-coast parishes, and on the Norfolk coast the creature is supposed to be amphibious, emerging from the sea by night.
The origins of the black dog are difficult to discern.
It is impossible to ascertain whether the phantom originated in the Celtic or Germanic elements in British culture.
Throughout European mythology, dogs have been associated with death.
Examples of this are the Cŵn Annwn, Garm and Cerberus, all of whom were in some way guardians of the underworld.
This association seems to be due to the scavenging habits of dogs.
It is possible that the black dog is a survival of these beliefs.
For a black dog, I guess.
They're supposed to be a bad omen.
For a black person, however, I'm not sure.
Maybe if he's riding your bike and has your TV on his shoulder.

There are people who still think like this?
If THIS ever saw that asshole abuse a cat - or any animal - I'd turn HIS other cheek with my fist.
I'd also remember something I learned as a teenager: car tires can be slashed.
