The truth behind the black cat myth<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The myth of the black cat is perhaps one of the most common stories and you have probably heard someone tell this story. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the UK, Europe and most of America, if a black cat crosses your path, people say it means bad luck is on the way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In Germany however, direction is specific and if a black cat crosses your path from right to left it means bad luck, but if the cat moves from left to right it is considered auspicious. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Also, in Japan it is thought to be very lucky, especially for single women, because a black cat promises good suitors on the way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Debunked: The black cat myth is obviously false and probably arose from the fact that in the Middle Ages black cats were thought to be the pets of witches. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Unfortunately, this rumor is still widespread today and black cats often end up in recovery centers or find it difficult to find a new home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2. Save yourself from a cat&#8217;s whiskers<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A cat&#8217;s whiskers almost seem to give them superpowers, so it&#8217;s only natural that people assumed they were good luck charms. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So much so that there is a popular legend according to which if you put a mustache in a white bag and place it in your car, it will help prevent accidents, thefts and breakdowns; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">some even claim it can help you avoid speeding and parking tickets!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Disclaimer: While we would have liked to believe it, the cat whisker myth isn&#8217;t true and likely arose because cats rarely shed their whiskers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">3. Cats were responsible for the plague<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Yes, you heard right. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the Middle Ages, cats were thought to be responsible for spreading the plague. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This was due to the fact that cats were thought to be in cahoots with witches, warlocks and ultimately the devil. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many people in the Middle Ages believed that the devil was responsible for all the horrors of the Black Death and began to destroy his &#8220;faithful servants&#8221; &#8211; cats.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Disproven: It was actually a type of flea that lived on mice that spread the plague. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Curiously, the destruction of the cats caused the rat population to flourish and the Black Death spread faster than ever before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">4.
