Black cats are unlucky for some...
For centuries they have faced suspicion, hostility and even death as a result of the bad luck they are said to carry with them. And. as the witches' sidekick at Halloween, black cats get that teeny bit scarier. But now, according to a number of animal charities, they are also much harder to rehome.
Research from Cats Protection shows that it takes 13 percent longer for black cats to find a new home compared with other colours while animal charity Wood Green say that a third of the cats they are looking to rehome are black cats, totalling 60 cats in two of their four centres in Cambridge and London.
