There is no end to the mystery surrounding the black cat. There is a belief in the society that seeing a black cat on the way while traveling for auspicious work carries bad omens.Due to this superstition, many pepole return home without going to the destination, or wait for a while and start the journey again.
It is considered inauspicious to hurt or kill a black cat. In the 1560s, black cats began to be portrayed as evil in European folktales. Gradually people believe that black cats have hidden evil powers. When the black cat crosses the road, the car driver waits for a while and then goes!
In earlier days when the carts were being pulled by cows, a restless expression could be observed among the cows when the black cat crossed the road. At that time the cart was stopped for some time to calm down the bulls. Later that custom turned into a superstition.
According to astrology, Rahu is considered an inauspicious planet. Under the influence of Rahu, there may be accidents in life. According to Vedic Astrology, Cat is the vehicle of Rahu. This is why it is considered inauspicious if a cat crosses the road. Because cat crossing the path means there is influence of Rahu.
We do not know whether the black color of the cat has anything to do with its being evil, but the ancient Indian reforms do not seem to be superstitions. So the matter is unclear to everyone.
