Bearington Bears Scared E Cat

Sunday Sep 25, 2011

When my old cat died, I decisive to pick one out of the Humane Society. They had named the introductory cat I saw “Batman”, and I fell in love with him on sight.

But when I brought him home, I came upon he didn’t rather have the courage of the comic book hero. I made a heap of errors which resulted in a month long struggle to coax him out of his hiding place to join the family.

I renamed him Bear, and he is wondrous cat, but my guests seem a little uncomfortable when he comes into the room. After all, he is exclusively black.

He is a black cat and a good deal of people are afraid of Black Cats…

The Black Cat in History

Historically, black cats have been related with omens, bad luck and, well…evil.

The poor unfortunate kitties have been used in rituals, and were supposedly the “familiars” of witches. Anarchism has applied the symbol of the black cat, as has Wicca, the innovative day expression of Witchcraft. Superstition has affiliated bad luck with having a black cat cross your path.

All-in-all, the black cat has been getting some actually bad press for centuries, and all of that is not effortlessly get over in just a few short lines of this article.

Scaredy Cat

A very highly sensible cat, our new black Bear was far more afraid of us than we were of him, and we made a number of faults in the introductory hour of his introduction that practically destroyed our probabilities for introducing him to our home.

The procedure of initial finding Bear where he had concealed in the house and gradually coaxing him out of his hiding place to join the family was long and agonizing. It took over a month, and I had almost despaired that we would ever acclimate him.

Patience won out, though…

Superstition Dispelled

Since then, Bear has been rolling around on my lap enjoying his daily pettings, sleeping in my bed, yowling at the females he sees from his perch in the kitchen window and just in general bringing a lot of joy to our lives.

He is here to dispel the notion that a black cat means bad luck. He is one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet, and there’s perfectly *nothing* scary in regards to him. And I may tell you for a fact that no bad luck is connected with Bear. He’s crossed my path innumerable times, and so far I haven’t experienced anything one might think of as “bad luck”.

I have to say, though, that on Halloween night he seems to be affrighted of his own black shadow. But I try to keep him calmed down and happy to be where he is…in my lap purring as piercing as he can!
