In the West, between bad luck and medieval beliefs:
In medieval Europe, black cats were sometimes associated with witches and bad luck. They were thought to carry occult energies, and their mere presence was enough to worry the most superstitious.

But elsewhere, a real lucky charm

Fortunately, other cultures have always given them a much warmer welcome! In Scotland, for example, seeing a black cat enter your home is considered a sign of future prosperity. In Japan, it’s said to attract love and protect the home. And in ancient Egypt, it was a sacred symbol of protection and good fortune. It just goes to show, it all depends on how you see them…

What if he chose you?
Beyond popular belief, one thing is certain: a cat that spontaneously enters a house never does so without reason. Cats are known for their great sensitivity to energy. They sense atmospheres, tensions… and flee places where they don’t feel comfortable.

If a black cat chooses your doorstep, it can signify several positive things:

He senses a pleasant balance in your home, an atmosphere conducive to calm.
He may wish to symbolically protect you from negative energies.
This could also herald a change, even a subtle transformation in your life, such as a new beginning or a personal turning point.
So, rather than fearing this feline encounter, why not welcome it as a messenger of renewal, with curiosity and kindness?
