Cute black cat motif key ring! 【Black Cat】 The belief that black cats were a symbol of bad luck as familiars of witches is a superstition and a thing of the past. Nowadays, for example, in some parts of England, they are considered a symbol of good luck. In Ypres, the Kattenstoet (=Cat Parade, held in 2018) is held every three years on the second Sunday of May. Many people in black cat costumes participate, and it is said that catching a black cat stuffed animal thrown from the window of the church tower brings good luck. In Japan, black cats are considered "lucky cats" and are symbols of warding off evil, good fortune, and prosperous business, due to reasons such as "being able to see in the dark." Black beckoning cats have the meaning of warding off evil and bad luck. During the Edo period, there was a superstition that keeping a black cat would cure consumption (tuberculosis), and it was also believed to be effective for lovesickness. Okita Soji of the Shinsengumi, who was bedridden with consumption, believed this superstition and kept a black cat. It is said that he tried to kill it at the moment of his death but failed, realizing his own end. The model for "I am a Cat," the protagonist of Natsume Soseki's novel, was a stray black cat that wandered into the Natsume family when Soseki was 37 years old and lived there. It was loved by Soseki's wife, Kyoko, as a lucky cat. Personally, when I think of black cats, I think of BUMP OF CHICKEN's "K." I still cry when I listen to it. Great power sometimes gives great blessings. May the blessings of the black cat give you even a little bit of strength.
