Facts You Should Know About Black Cats, Believed to Bring Bad Luck 🐾😺

Did anyone hear the phrase ‘A black cat is bad luck’? We’ve gathered some facts that prove we’ve been unfair to black cats. 👇

Some cultures consider black cats as symbols of good luck.

In many parts of the world, black cats are labeled as ‘bad luck,’ but in many cultures, it’s quite the opposite! If you’re an unmarried woman living in Japan, it’s believed that owning a black cat will increase your suitors. In Germany, if a black cat crosses your path from left to right, it’s considered a herald of good things to come. Black cats are a sailor’s best friend, symbolizing good luck for sailors, indicating they’ll return home safely.

There isn’t just one breed of black cat. The Cat Fanciers’ Association says there are 22 different breeds of black cats. The black Burmese cat is said to be the most common breed we all encounter. Known as the mini panther, this breed gets its name from its resemblance to the black panther in the wild.

Black cats have plenty of admirers and adopters too! Research shows the opposite of the misconception that black cats are less loved. The ASPCA states that black cats have high adoption and affection rates.

The fur of black cats can rust. There are three different fur genes in black cats: black, brown, and cinnamon. Over time, the color of every black cat’s fur reverts to its original genetic color. Moreover, excessive exposure to sunlight can cause the fur to lighten in color. Black cats that aren’t adequately nourished may also lose their black coat color.

Black fur genes might make cats more resilient against diseases. Scientists found that the mutation causing black fur in cats belongs to the same family of genes that resist HIV in humans. They believe cats’ fur might not be for camouflage but for resilience against diseases. There’s even hope this could lead to finding a cure for HIV.

There’s even a café dedicated to black cats! In Himeji, Japan, there’s a café dedicated to black cats! The owner is black cats. You can adore them, but you’re not allowed to take them home. Each black cat wears a different colored bandana to avoid mixing them up.

It’s tough to photograph black cats, but not impossible. Capturing a photo of black cats in the right light is quite challenging. Most of the time, the result is either too dark or completely indistinct. Therefore, the correct angle, timing, and place are crucial! And lastly: Black panthers have spots too. Technically, there’s no such thing as a black panther. This term is used for all large black cats. These animals are actually leopards or jaguars. The surprising part is, panthers have spots too! Look closely at photos and videos where sunlight hits a black panther’s fur. That’s when you’ll see their spots.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
