"Black Cat Appreciation Day" started with one black cat.🐈⬛
August 17th is "Black Cat Appreciation Day."
This is an anniversary that we hope not only black cat lovers, but also those who have heard that "black cats are unlucky..." will learn about!
This time, we will introduce the origin of "Black Cat Appreciation Day" and the true charm of black cats 🐾
What kind of day is Black Cat Appreciation Day?
August 17th is "Black Cat Appreciation Day."
Did you know that this anniversary was actually born from the deep love between one black cat and its family?
Wayne Morris's family in the United States had a beloved black cat named "Sinbad."
Sinbad was loved by everyone in the family, and was especially irreplaceable to Wayne's wife, June.
However, just two months after Sinbad passed away, June also passed away at the young age of 33, amidst deep sorrow.
After that, Wayne,
"I want more people to know the happiness of living with a black cat."
"I want black cats waiting for a family in shelters to also find a warm family."
With such wishes, he began to spread August 17th as **"Black Cat Appreciation Day"** in 2011.
Are black cats actually lucky?
Black cats are sometimes thought of as "unlucky," but this varies depending on the country and era.
In Japan, since ancient times, they have been cherished as lucky beings, believed to:
- Ward off evil spirits on night roads
- Bring good fortune
- Bring good luck
Also, in the UK, they are known as "lucky cats," and it is said that happiness will come if you see a black cat 🍀
Many countries around the world consider black cats to be symbols of good luck.
