Names for Black Cats

A cat as black
As blackest coal,
Is out upon,
His midnight stroll,
His steps are soft,
His walk is slow,
His eyes are gold,
They flash and glow.
And so I run,
And so I duck,
I do not need,
His black-cat luck.
~Author Unknown

The poet has so rightly described the beauty of a black cat, yet has been overpowered by his sense of superstition and fear of black cats. Black cats are just like other colored cats, yet black is mostly associated with dark and evil and therefore, black cats are considered unlucky. Black cats have always been portrayed as the omen of evil, the pets of witches and wizards, or as a 'fier, dame classe supérieure' in movies, cartoons and fictional writings. But if you have happened to have landed here, and are reading this article, the chances are higher that you too are a cat lover and probably also an owner of a black cat.
