Just seems like a stupid reason to not adopt a black cat to me.Also, I once read a book that black cats are really only considered bad luck by so many people in North America. Over in Europe many actually consider them to be good luck. From what I've read the superstition they are bad luck stems from the time when so many women were accused of being witches and had black cats as familiars or something. Pretty silly.
Yeah it’s a North American thing stemming from wives tales about witchcraft. Like you said they’re considered good luck in some other countries.

The ladder superstition is based on a belief that the triangle is a Holy symbol and that walking under a ladder leaning against the wall pierces the triangle and let's loose demons upon the person walking under it.
While I certainly believe in demons (don't see how anyone could truly be a christian w/out doing so), I don't believe that superstition that they are unleashed on the person walking under a ladder. Demons are already in the world anyway among us... just invisible spirit beings (fallen angels).
I do believe repeated use to the point of obsession with things like Ouija boards or tarot cards puts the person using them in great danger of demonic control or at the very least demonic influence. Those things are very dangerous to the person using them obsessively, imo.
When I was a kid I was fascinated with stuff like Ouija boards, tarot cards, and the occult. As I got older, I started to realize the bad influence they were having on me.
I also bought a cheap little Ouija board (from Kmart I think) when I was a kid but broke it in half after using it for about a month after watching some rated r movie about the bad influence obsessive use of a Ouija board was having on this woman. You probably saw that movie too.I think it's called "Witchboard" or something similar.
