Welsh folklore tells us that black cats bring good luck to the home:"A black cat, I’ve heard it said,
Can charm all ill away,
And keep the house wherein she dwells
From fever’s deadly sway."The verse has been translated from Welsh. Here’s the original:
"Cath ddu, mi glywais dd’wedyd,
A fedr swyno hefyd,
A chadw’r teulu lle mae’n byw
O afael pob rhyw glefyd."Our feline friends are amazing - and definitely not unlucky. 🍂
