Because they blend in with the dark and many people associate the color black with evil. That has nothing to do with the cat, of course, and it's stupid to think that they're bad luck. But that's why people used to think that.
because the ancient Egyptians thought so that's why in some drawings in Egypt show black cats burning to hell
Cats dont bring bad luck some people are hust superstitious and think this.
Because some people think that black cats mean bad luck and witch-craft! I have a black cat and I don't think it is true. Black cats can be thought of as evil/scary to some people. Black cats fit halloween, they can lurk in shadows and hide in the darkness.
Superstitious people think that it is bad luck if a black cat crosses your path. But I just think that they are plain cute!
People used to think that all black cats caused bad luck because they were either transformed witches or the servants of witches and demons. Of course they are just cats that have only black fur.
I'm not sure if anyone knows why they started. Each country has their own superstitions about black cats. Most think they are good luck or magical. Americans are about the only ones who think of them as bad luck.

The superstition around black cats being bad luck likely originated during medieval times when they were associated with witches and dark magic. However, in many cultures today, black cats are considered symbols of good luck and prosperity. Ultimately, whether a black cat is perceived as bad luck is just a matter of superstition and personal beliefs.
They say it is evil because of the black cat that passed someone on Friday the 13th and they got bad luck for a long time. But realy black cats are not bad luck it is just a rumer. They are even good luck somtimes. So it is just a rumer.
Because there is a superstisions that says they are bad luck!!!
Probably because so much superstition and folklore involve cats. Think of black cats during Halloween and the bad-luck black cat as examples.
Back then when people had no real wisdom of superstitions, they thought black cats were bad luck. Now, we know this is just plain a hoax, yet people in some countries think black cats are good luck! Black cats are everything but bad luck... Do not believe in these superstitions! :)
