A black cat crossing a path as bad luck overlaps medieval familiar-and-witch stories in Europe. In parts of Britain and in Japan the same coat can be a good omen or a shop guest. Sailor and theatre notes score the colour differently again. Friday-the-13th searches overlap; this landing stays on feline colour lore. A cat is a companion, not proof of magic. Do not justify abandonment or harm with an omen. Allergy and scratches are medical.
English-language copy may say reverse your plan if one crosses. Not statistics. Traffic is more dangerous than fur.
Some British sailor talk and Japanese shop lore read black fur as a guest or a return. They do not auto-translate.
Calendar lore is friday-the-13th; magpies are magpie-omen. Leap-year superstition is another topic.
Refusing or dumping a cat for coat colour is cruelty dressed as folklore. Neutering and indoor safety beat a chapbook.
