Описание: Black Cats Are NOT Bad Luck: 15 Myths Destroyed by Science & History

Do you ever hear people say “black cats are bad luck” and feel something isn’t quite right about that?
Maybe you’ve seen a black cat in a shelter cage, in a horror movie, or crossing the street at night and wondered: Is there really anything “cursed” about them—or is it just a story we’ve been told for too long?

In this video, we unpack 15 powerful facts about black cats—blending genes, evolution, mythology, shelter statistics, and human psychology. You’ll see how melanin shapes their dark coats, why their eyes seem to glow “supernaturally,” how different cultures once treated them as sacred protectors, and how modern superstition quietly keeps them stuck in shelters longer than other cats.

Each fact is explained through both science and emotion—you’ll learn what “black cat syndrome” really is, why some black cats “rust” into chocolate brown, how hidden tabby patterns appear over time, and how our own brains create unconscious bias against dark coats. Most importantly, you’ll get a practical checklist of what you can do—from the way you talk about black cats to how you photograph, adopt, and protect them in real life.

✨ Watch until the end to discover where the real “bad omen” actually lives—and how just one fair look at a black cat can completely change the rest of their life.
