Debbie, I bet Nina meant that some people are superstitious or believe old wives tales (bad luck if a black cat crosses your path, etc.). Funny that this post occurred on Friday the 13th! Double superstitions! I just saw a beautiful, silky, short hair all black cat roaming our back yard. I called to it from our deck, but it had better things to do! I personally am not superstitious about black cats, but I do throw spilled salt over my left shoulder! :) Melissa
