The grace and beauty of black cats are admired, but they do not cease to be afraid of them. Each person has their own ways of dealing with potential misfortunes that can bring a black cat that crossed the road in the "wrong" place. Are they justified or not? This can be easily figured out.
You probably remember various fairy tales and cartoons, where the main character was a witch and a black cat. After that, it was believed that the famous Baba Yaga turns into a black cat. Now it seems completely absurd, but people who worshiped various gods believed in it unconditionally. Gradually, everything was overgrown with other sayings, and after that the black cat began to be associated with something bad and scary.
To protect yourself from the influence of the "forces of darkness", there are a lot of ways to deal with this. Some will slowly spit over their left shoulder, others will simply cross the road, while others act more rationally and thoughtfully - they are waiting for the next pedestrian. But cats do not always choose busy streets, you can wait a long time. Therefore, it is better to give up all the prejudices that came to us from ancient times and calmly cross the road.
It is worth noting that in other countries the black creature is respected. For example, in France, Bulgaria and England, it is generally accepted that a black cat, which was presented, is a sign of special respect. In Great Britain, a black cat is a symbol of good luck. Each nation has its own history and beliefs, but you shouldn't dwell on them. If you were presented with a wonderful black kitten, do not rush to get rid of it, because it can not only give you good luck, but a lot of other positive emotions.
