The answer is no. Black cats are not bad luck. In my opinion they are actually good luck. Black cats are some of the most optimistic and friendly cats around. So why do so many people think there bad luck? Well, in medieval Europe, people though black cats were the familiars of witches (a familiar is an animal sidekick for a magical being or person), or a form of a witch. This is were the fear of black cats came from. They were also seen as bad omens, something symbolizing evil spirits and monsters. Believe it or not, black cats are actually found lucky in some cultures. In japan, a black cat is a lucky symbol. 

There is no scientific proof of black cats being unlucky.
