Breaking the spell: The black cat myth busted 🔮

* Myth: Black cats are unlucky.
* Fact: In many cultures, black cats are actually considered to bring good luck. In Japan, it is believed to bring prosperity, while British sailors considered it a talisman for ships.

* Myth: Black cats are less friendly than other cats.
*Fact: A cat’s personality has nothing to do with its coat color. Black cats, like other kittens, can be friendly and affectionate.

Limerick purrs

Get ready for some catty wordplay. Here are some lyrics to celebrate our beloved black cats.

1. Once upon a time, there was a cat as black as night.
Who terrorized trick-or-treaters?
But there’s a treat in his paw;
He squealed, “Ro!”
Then they danced in the bright light of the pumpkins.

2. A black cat named Midnight is very smart.
I loved playing hide and seek.
He was hiding in the shadows,
Until Halloween night
Then he screeches triumphantly and pounces!

3. On Halloween, a cat named Sue
She’s wearing a witch’s hat and looks cute.
he rides a broom
Beyond the full moon
With a magical cat salute.

4. Black kitten with golden eyes,
There are untold Halloween stories.
He was wandering in the dark,
Leaving behind a trail of magic,
His fortune is worth more than any gold.

5. There was a very bold black cat.
Who thought superstitions were old?
He crossed every road;
not cause anyone’s anger,
There is no need to prove the folk tales.

How to celebrate Black Cat Awareness Month 🎉

1. Volunteer at a local shelter – Black cats often have long wait times to be adopted.
2. Share a photo of your black cat on social media using #BlackCatAwarenessMonth.
3. Dress up as a black cat for Halloween (the ultimate homage)!
4. Tell your friends how great black cats are (for extra impact, use a dad joke).

Remember, every day is a good day to thank your Midnight Nyabel friends. This Halloween, give black cats the spotlight they deserve. Don’t be surprised if a black cat tries to blend into the shadows instead.

Happy Halloween and Happy Black Cat Awareness Month! May your trick-or-treat bags be full and your black cat be given lots of hugs. Have your own Halloween portie?
