Why Are Black Cats Associated With Halloween?

Halloween is a time of year where we get dressed up in scary outfits and decorate our homes with spooky trinkets.

But have you ever wondered why black cats appear at Halloween, or why we dress up as them on this day?

The furry mysterious creatures have played an important part in history and have become associated with witchcraft.

But where did this come from? And what makes a black cat different from any other cat

On October 31st every year we decorate our homes with spooky decorations and black cats are used as part of these.

This is mostly because of their superstitious reputation.

As Halloween is known for its window to the dead, in more recent years many people have started to decorate their homes with anything associated with witchcraft and superstition.

The idea was that by displaying spooky elements, it will scare off any bad souls that might be passing.

It is thought that displaying a black cat will offer protection to the household.

This was how black cats became a symbol of Halloween.
