Why are black cats evil or bad luck?

Hey fam! (always wanted to say that) What's up?

We all know why witches are evil. They are witches. Witches are evil.

But why are black cats evil or bad luck?

Ooooo *ghost voice*
Because I'm a cat lover, every Halloween season (and every time I think of the superstition of black cats crossing your path being bad luck), I've always found it unfair that black cats are singled out from other cats and called evil. I mean, the poor poor widdle kitties! *kitty-cooing voice*

So in honor of Halloween (which is over but so what), let's take a look at WHY black cats are evil.

And I choose you, Wiki-chu! (Pokemon reference)

BUT BEFORE THAT, let's think logically and rationally on our own before relying on Wiki-chu's powers.

Black cats. Why could they be evil or bad luck? Here are my guesses:

1. Because they are black and black is associated with darkness and the unknown.
2. Because a woman who was thought of to be a witch, owned a black cat and because she was the first ever identified witch, it became known to all that black cats are evil, or bad luck.
3. Because shadows are creepy and darkness and associated with demons and possession, and black cats are kinda like shadows, they are then thought of as evil.

Let's see if I'm right at all, shall we?

On the Abe Administration: A Japanese Person Speaks Her Mind

I bet a lot of you read up on Japanese politics.
Why? Simple, we change Prime Minister's every few years...almost :P
In the U.S. and maybe other countries, you can probably name your Presidents mostly in order.

Japan is like, meh, forget it.

Anyway, ever since the BIG election in the U.S., and the BIG election for the FEMALE Governess of Tokyo (Ms. Koike), I started to pay even more attention to politics. And if you know me, I am half-Japanese and half-American and I've spent almost all my years in Japan except for the two-and-a-half years of my childhood in the States. And if you know me, I'm in my 20s (at the point of this post). And if you know me, on my blog I don't talk about politics...at all or very little.

But this time I have to. I think it's important for other people to know what some Japanese think of PM Abe. Now, I'm not speaking for everyone and I certainly do know that a bunch of Japanese of all ages support PM Abe.

I for one am not for PM Abe anymore.

Wait, anymore? Yes. Anymore. Here are my reasons:
