BlogFest 2012 Day 7 - How do you feel about cats, black cats, superstitions?

Posted by Claudia Moser on 2:04 PM in , ,
Kelly had a lovely question, which reminded me of Paris and the Seine banks and also of Le Chat Noir.

I associate this picture with the capital of France, with its flavours and lovely impressions. Somehow I smell autumn in my nostrils while walking under the October sun on the street of Montparnasse, can you feel it too?

What about you? How do you feel about cats, black cats, superstitions?

I don't believe in superstitions, I think :)


I want to go to France-- I'm not hugely superstitious and I love cats...black or otherwise.

I still want to go to France :)


Hi Claudia. If a black cat runs in front of you, I can't remember if it's supposed to be lucky or unlucky!!


I love that poster!!!!

My first cat was a black cat. Background: My mother died when I was 10; I visited a farm when I was 12 and they had kittens; my best friend and I were both encouraged to adopt one. ONE kitten had been dropped off with her mom a few weeks prior, but her mom had since died. She was sweet and affectionate, and yes, all black. So I had to pick her.

Unfortunately, my stepmother was superstitious and it creeped her out; OBVIOUSLY, I must be a witch, since I had chosen to bring a black cat home. This did not make an already rocky relationship any easier.

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
