Specification Black cats have always been mysterious and have many anecdotes about them. Sometimes they have been feared as omens of misfortune, and sometimes they have been loved as mascots of good luck. This book unravels the mysteries and superstitions surrounding black cats, and the history and legends that they weave together. This book is a re-edited version of "Fascinating Black Cats - Unknown History and Episodes" published by Graphic-sha in 2015, and is republished as part of the "Secret Bookshelf Series" in a luxurious cushion-bound book with a small edge. It contains anecdotes and legends about black cats, tracing history, and talking about black cats from various angles, such as the superstitions that led to the fear of black cats, and conversely, the stories that made them a symbol of good luck. It is a cute and mysterious book that cat lovers will not be able to resist picking up.
