Depending on where you are in the world, black cats can be considered bad luck or good luck. Growing up in California, superstitions have influenced us to believe that a black cat crossing your path was a sign of bad luck. This belief doesn't strictly apply to California. Movies and television shows portray these ebony colored felines as creatures of the night, pairing them with halloween, witchcraft, demons and the list goes on to associating them with being symbols of evil.

Halloween decor is not complete until you have the traditional arched-backed, hissing black cat on your lawn. While doing a quick Google search on “Halloween black cat décor,” it yielded a result from the Oriental Trading Company with the items' decription: “Send chills down your guest's spine with spooktacular black cat decor.”
To that I say, What a Shame.
