The Lucky Black Cat Throughout history, and in many cultures, black cats were seen as lucky, sacred and protective beings. For example: * Freya, the Norse Goddess of Love & Fertility drives a chariot pulled by two black cats. * To dream of a black cat is thought by many people to be a lucky omen. * Many theater folk love cats, perhaps because they, too, were once ostracized and shunned. It is blieved that a black cat in the audience on opening night portends a successful play. * In the south of France, black cats are referred to as matagots or magician cats. According to local superstition, they bring good luck to owners who feed them well and treat them with the respect they deserve. * Fishermans wives kept black cats while their husbands went away to sea believing that the black cats would prevent danger from occurring to their husbands. These black cats were treated like royalty and were considered so valuable that they were often stolen. At one point, they became so expense that few fisher folk could afford them.
