There's always someone talking good or bad about the black cat, and if it's in anime it's even worse. Even more so than in the Middle Ages, it was believed that black cats were witches transformed into animals, which is why there is a superstition that crossing paths with a black cat is a sign of great bad luck.
Soon after, in Egypt, cats were associated with the Goddess Bastet or Ailuros (Greek word for cat) who was completely adorned in gold and painted black. A solar deity and goddess of fertility, in addition to protecting pregnant women, had a cat's head and a basket where she placed her babies.
The story of the black cat is old as you can see. If you want to know more about your relationship with Friday the 13th, read on Mural Animal .
