The Egyptians are considered to be the greatest cat lovers as they worshiped cats so much that if a person killed a cat, either accidentally or on purpose, the person would be sentenced to death. Deceased cats of that era were mummified and buried in their own casket, in special graveyards.

Not only were the Egyptians obsessed with cats, many people from around the world are hung on to cats because of their graceful, fluid and aloof nature. Cats have always been portrayed and associated with the night, along with mystery. In fact, mythology states that the goddess Freya had a cat that pulled her chariot. It was these types of stories that made people believe that cats were magical, and were associated with witches.

The black cat is the preferred choice for Halloween decorations as it symbolized witchcraft and evil. In fact, Norse mythology states that a black cat crossing the path is a symbol of bad luck. However like other symbols, other countries have different associations with the cat. In places like England and Japan, a black cat is considered to be a god omen.
