A black cat crossing your path...good or bad luck?

[Dappa D]

as title, please vote,..., lunchtime pub banter, im sure in england its blah blah but my boss disagrees...so lets see what u lot think....

[hovis]

BAD

[El Saxo]

Neither. I reckon the idea of it being bad luck only came about cos someone once tripped over the bloody cat! :lol:

Apply the same logic to walking under ladders, stepping on cracks in the pavement etc etc...

[missyburd]

Neither, I'd probably stop it in its path and give it a tickle on its back if it was friendly :lol:

[arcdef]

all cats are bad luck!

[Daimo]

I had bad bad luck for many years, my cat was black.

Bless her, she lasted till she was 24 though, so bad luck for me, but great luck for her :)

Me too! When I was at uni, Me & Matt used to walk pass this really friendly black cat. It would always come running up to us and let us stroke it. It was very old though but absolutely gorgeous with amazing green eyes. Much more friendly than my cat at home who only loves you when he wants food :rolleyes:

all cats are bad luck!

You had a bad experience with cats then?

[Dangerous Dave]

Its a load of rubbish mate....

my gf's cat is a bitch, no matter how nice i am to her she will just scratch me :( it just so happens to be a very clever cat though, learnt to open doors the other day! cant even keep it out now :(

[Dappa D]

for the record people.....i know its a load of rubbish, i walk under ladders, dont care about single magpies and all that, and would probably give the black cat a smooth myself,.. im just after what the majority of superstition says if its good or bad luck!!!!

[missyburd]

and would probably give the black cat a smooth myself,..
Wtf is a smooth? And should you be admitting this to the millions of people on the net? ;)

i like your thinking!

[Daimo]

24?! wow!

Indeed, she had a good run.

And we had to put her down too due to dimensia.

Got her when I was like 3 years old. :(

[missyburd]

Hmmm yes, may be a wise decision :rolleyes: ;) :p

[Dappa D]

sssshhhh!!...so anyways looks like a pretty even tie....

i thought that the general thinking was that it was bad luck........

Opening an umbrella inside? You might take someones eye out!
Shoes on a table? Not very hygenic is it?

[slloyd]

Bad luck all round....Single Magpies - Salute, avoid walking under a ladder, smashing a mirror and for some but not all avoid walking over 3 drains.

I think it's best to stay indoors, and I'll be fine :D

Wow the popularity of the Org :-k

[hovis]

Neither, I'd probably stop it in its path and give it a tickle on its back if it was friendly :lol:

i'd kick it, or throw stones at it, or shoot it, if i had a big gun


i feckin hate cats

[missyburd]

Wow the popularity of the Org :-k
Just because there are only a few thousand people who are members of the .org doesn't mean it's not accessible to millions ;)

I do prefer dogs but I still couldn't actually hurt an animal let alone a cat :rolleyes: I could hurt a fly though ;-)

[madness]

There's far too much talk of pussy stroking going on here! ;)

[Caddy2000]

It's definately good luck - something to kick!

[Lou M]

Black - good luck, white - bad luck.

My cat has learnt to rattle the letter box when he wants to come in.

[Magnum]

Bless her, she lasted till she was 24 though, so bad luck for me, but great luck for her :)

24 real years? or cat years? (if there's such a thing)

[Raf]

Fer chris sake, it's a fecking cat. It didn't ask to be black, it just is. Now shut up and give it some fuss like any good human servant.

Now that is what a cat would say. :lol:

[BanannaMan]

I have 5 cats (and 2 dogs).
Only 1 of the 5 is a black cat...and is the nicest one of all.
Deffinately NOT bad luck.

[jimmy-james]

You make your own luck/ bad luck, cats have nothing to do with it as its just an animal! Stop kicking the cat use a laser pen to taunt it, much more fun :-D
