Black cat superstitions in Britain

There are so many superstitions revolving around black cats from all over the world. 
The sad thing is that the color of their fur has left people thinking that they are horrible and cursed animals, when it's quite the opposite. 

In some countries the black cats are actually considered to be lucky!

In Britain when one crosses your path it is said that they will bring you luck. King Charles I had a black cat that he loved dearly and was said to have brought him good luck.

Some ships had black cats on them because the black cats were considered to be good luck while out to sea. Some of the sailors wives even kept black cats at home with them to ensure that their husbands had good luck.  

If you were an unmarried woman and had a black cat in your home then you would never run out of possible suitors.
