   Black cats are considered signs of good luck in many areas of the world. In England, the black cat is a sign of good luck if it shows up on your wedding day, or if it accompanies sailors at sea. And in some Asian cultures, they believe a black cat can help ward off evil.

   During ancient times, black cats were revered. In ancient Egypt, they were mummified with their royal owners so they could join them in the afterlife. In Norse mythology, Freya, the goddess of love was often portrayed as riding in a chariot pulled by — black cats! So, by adopting a black cat, you’re basically bringing home royalty.
