Halloween Cats - Are They Really A Myth

These days Halloween cats are everywhere. There are plenty of Halloween cat graphics to put up as wallpaper or screensavers on your computer and to stick on the glass panes of your windows. Halloween cat costumes for you and also Halloween cat costumes for your cat.

While making these crafts with your children or dressing up your kitty you might want to share a few facts about Halloween cats or, better known as black cats.


Many years ago in England, a black cat crossing your path was considered good luck. In Finland, it was thought that the black cat would carry the soul of the dead to the other world. In Germany is was thought that if a black cat jumped on the bed of a sick person that it meant death was near.


Black cats have had a bad rap for hundreds of years but by the look of how cats are being viewed these days and the massive amounts of costumes out there to dress up your Halloween cat, it would seem that Halloween is now the cat’s meow.
