Shoot down a black cat - a sign

Many drivers fanatically believe in omens. On the road, they often face dangers associated with death and human tragedies. Therefore, there are driving superstitions that the most daring try not to violate. Hitting a cat is a very bad omen.

The cat is a freedom-loving animal - it walks by itself. Often he pays for his frivolity with his seven lives under the wheels of a car. The driver feels sorry for the unfortunate animal that was under the wheels, and if he is superstitious, then bad forebodings begin to overcome, because the omen does not promise anything good. They say if you hit a black cat - be in trouble!

So, what should you prepare for, and how to avoid trouble:

The saddest thing is that, having knocked down a cat, one should wait for the next victims - a dog, and possibly a person. The prospect is scary, so try to change your driving behavior. Do not be distracted by phone calls or conversations with fellow travelers. Slow down if there is such a sin. Think about it, maybe a black cat hit on the road is a warning about serious accidents
If the cat was run over by the car of the newlyweds, then family life will not work out - so says the omen. Of course, a cat under the car of the newlyweds is an unpleasant sight, but if you are sure of your feelings, then nothing will stop you from creating strong family and deal with all problems. And if the family does not work out, then you should not blame the unfortunate animal, but you need to look for the problem in yourself.
If a man is driving, then he should expect trouble from another man, and if a lady, pay attention to the behavior of a husband or friend, it is quite possible that you have a rival.
A downed black cat without spots indicates that you have enemies who sent a curse or damage. Understand your surroundings.

How to neutralize the negative effect of signs:

See if the animal is still breathing, and take it to the veterinary clinic.
Buy a stick of sausage and treat stray cats. By accidentally killing one animal, you have fed and, perhaps, saved another from starvation.
Take a break from work, especially if it involves driving a car. Park your car in the garage and spend time with your family and pets.
Pick up a kitten on the street, give him shelter and food, he will not let trouble into your house, and no signs will be terrible for you.

From all that has been said, we can conclude: a black cat in the house does not bode any troubles and cannot be the cause of misfortune. Agree, a cat is a cat, and color is a color. Black cats do not differ in character from cats of other colors, but people, like many centuries ago, believe that they can bring trouble. In shelters and among homeless animals, much more cats with black coloring, they are not wanted to be taken, and they often die because of prejudice. Centuries have passed, but, unfortunately, the times of the persecution of black cats and the superstitions associated with them remain in our subconscious to this day.

What kind of animal is a black cat - its owners will tell you well. They love their pets, and they love them back, thereby destroying the myths that black cats are evil and bring bad luck.
