The superstition of black cats dates back to Ancient Greece. According to Greek mythology, Zeus’ wife Hera once turned her servant Galinthias into a black cat as punishment for interfering with Hercules’ birth. Galinthias later became an aide to Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, and black cats have had different meanings in different cultures ever since. You’ve probably heard that if a black cat crosses your path, it’s bad luck. As these myths are getting busted, we have aggregated some of the funniest black cat jokes for you to laugh at.
Although the origin of this popular black cat myth is unknown, some believe that witches in the middle ages were conscious of natural phenomena. They were smart, intelligent and kept themselves healthy. So they use to keep cats with them to get rid of rodents and brooms to maintain cleanliness. The western world at that time was dominated by males in Church must have felt challenged in terms of authority and power.
Others believe that it could be related to the cat’s slick demeanor. Some superstitious observers may believe that a black cat’s sly movements indicate that he is up to no good.
