Prudence the black cat

My black cat is notoriously hard to photograph but fits todays mono challenge of 'superstitions'. I once read that there are more black cats in shelters because people get them and then realise they wont look good on social media.
Black cats have always had a connection with superstition such as:-

If a cat purrs, a ghost is in the room  - we must have a lot of ghosts then

It is bad luck to cross a stream carrying a cat - can't imagine ever doing this.


Bathing a cat will cause it to rain -  Prudence must be very clean.

If a black cat crosses your path it brings bad luck

A cat at a wedding is a good omen - never seen one at a wedding

Fishermen’s wives believe that their husbands will be safe at sea if a black cat is kept in the house

If you can pluck a pure white hair from an all-black cat without being scratched, you will be lucky in love

But I love Prudence and wouldn''t change her for the world!
