The black cat in particular became further linked to chaos and destruction when it was adopted as the symbol of the anarcho-syndicalist movement in the late 19th and early 20th century. Still, it’s worth noting that in many countries around the world, a black cat crossing your path means good luck, not bad. (see more — Where Superstitions Come From) This is my plan for the evening.
