It is the opposite. It is a superstition that it is bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. (Maybe it's good luck for witches. ;-)

It's considered bad luck. But in Asia, if a black cat crosses your path, it's bad luck. But in Germany, it depends. If a black cat crosses your path from the right, it's bad luck. If the cat crosses from the right, it's good luck.

If it doesn't look at you then you might have bad luck. That's what the myth is. If it does look at you then your fine. The myth dates back to the early 1800s so people belived anything. So honestly I don't belive it.

Nothing, it's just a black cat crossing your path, you are a moron if you believe in the myths that such an event could bring bad luck. But if you want to know what is the alleged reasoning behind this, black cats were once considered to be the familiars of witches, and were said to signal their master's presence, and one crossing your physical path could be a metaphorical warning that bad luck and dark magic was to be involved soon down your spiritual "path" as well. The significance of Halloween is that it is considered in western folklore to be a time when barriers between the preternatural world and our own are vastly weakened, allowing fell creatures to roam our world.

It means slow down so you don't hit the cat.

There is no truth whatsoever to the silly superstition that black cats are bad luck.

What are ways to counteract the bad luck when a black cat crosses across you?

First of all, if a black cat runs across your path and then retraces his or her steps, it's actually good luck. But if a black cat starts to cross your path, but stops halfway and retraces, it's bad luck. And if a black cat runs in front of you, less than four feet away, you will not have bad luck. 1) If a black cat crosses your path, walk backward ten steps. 2) If a black cat crosses the road, turn around and walk backward until you get over the place the cat passed. 3) If a black cat crosses you path, spit on the ground and rub your foot through it and then walk backward five steps. 4) If a black cat crosses your path, go home and sit half an hour before returning to what you were doing.
