Good news for black cats! Marvel produces a film and cat thanks, if with Ryan Coogle's Black Panter the number of adoptions at animal shelters increases. It's true, it happens in the States, but do you want to see that even the Italian people bend to the (Hollywood) charm of the black cat?
Always snubbed out of pure superstition - Western cultures often see black cats as bad luck because they were thought to be the companions of witches in the 14th century - now raven-colored cats with stars and stripes rise to the role of real stars.
A story of superstition that leaves the time it finds, as in recent days more and more news are emerging of American catteries that suddenly received many requests for black cats.
Black panter
This is the case, for example, of a Tumblr user, gallusrostromegalus, who stated that the animal shelters in Durango, Colorado, no longer have black cats to give up for adoption.
"My pet shelters have gone from having something like 50-60 black cats to not having even one."
And what names do these kittens take? Obviously those of the characters in the film. It seems that "T'Challa" is the most popular name, but there are also a good number of "Okoyes" and "Shuris".
“These cats are mostly adopted by people who still want to welcome a cat, then they walk in, see the black ones and exclaim 'Like Black Panther!' and if they bring them home, then, for once, black cats are the first to be adopted ”, he tells himself on social media.
In the wake of this "feline call" there is also a Dallas movie theater that promises anyone who has adopted a black cat two free tickets to see Black Panther.
In short, we hope that once the Black Panter mania is over, these delightful kittens won't have to bear the weight of abandonment or failure to adopt again. A bit like the owls and owls that had an exploit following the success of Harry Potter and then abandoned to their fate, black cats I just have to hope for a little ... luck.
