The black cat
In Italy, as probably in all countries, there are several superstitions and one of these is about black cats.
Some people if a back cat cross their walk, they stop and wait for someone passing before them. That’s because they believe that if a black cat move across the way you are walking along it will bring disgrace to your life…I won’t commet it, but I’ll just let imagine what people “do” to stray black cats in some places around Italy.
In my family there are a few member that are a little superstitious, I think they follow the “wise” position of not “truly beliving” that actions like opening an umbrella in an house will cause negative events, but they prefer “to avoid the risk”. Partially teasonable position until… I saw them surprised to see me walking around holding a black kitty. They said nothing more than “oh, a black cat!” but their “fear” bothered me a little.
Despite all they ended up caressing Java because she is a really sweet kitty, and I have to say that they really enjoye caressing her 
The only thing I believe about black cat is that I would have never shot THIS picture without our black Java: the terrible disgrace maker, with such that evil gaze in the eyes watching the… television!
Yeah such a terrible cat to have around (thanks Lord!)
