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 not lucky. infact it is a whole lot of bull plop if you ask me
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.
They don't, its just psychological. you think your gonna have bad luck so when something that would normally go wrong goes wrong, you blame it on the cat.
no it is just in your mind you think you have bad luck after having a cat cross your path
black cats do not have bad luck.
that is just superstion for idiots
of corse not , its just a myth , if you cross a black cat its no different than if you cross A grey or white cat , its just a mothers tail ( not true)
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.

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.
A black cat is bad luck. If one crosses your path, it's a bad omen.
The general consensus I think is bad luck. If a black cat crosses your path while walking under the ladder..... run.
it is said that a black cat or dog are a symbol of the devil and friday the 13th is a day for demons, so when a black cat or dog crosses your path then your considered a victim of demon's bad luck.
since im Russian i will tell you--> the black wolf would be bad luck also the black cat. IF a black cat CROSSES your PATH means something bad will happen to you. Russian count it that way
If you spill salt, you throw a small pinch of salt over your left shoulder. You can determine the outcome of casino games based on what has happened in the past. If you break a mirror, you will have 7 years of bad luck. If a black cat crosses your path, you will have bad luck.
Superstitious people think that it is bad luck if a black cat crosses your path. But I just think that they are plain cute!
