Black cats are underappreciated, and why that should change. Black cats are often ignored or mistreated still to this day in many nations across the globe, this is often due to the fact that these animals have many negative connotations that society has placed onto them. Superstitions that are believed to have been created during the medieval period characterize black cats as to be evil black magic that bring bad luck but that is further from the truth. Black cats are overall the same as any other cat. They act exactly the same and should be treated the same.
