I can't get out of my chair without almost tripping over a black cat, and I consider myself to be a fairly lucky guy. I'll go along with "sdrawkcab" and say that belief in this superstition is just utter nonsense.
Please don't bump off your neighbour's cat.
The bad luck you get might be the neighbour opening a can of woop-ass on you....

For those of you who believe black cats are a sure sign of bad luck, I have a serious question for you:
When I smoke I sit on my front step. Almost every time I'm outside smoking, the neighbor's cat, who is black, runs past me. I'm not sure I believe in the whole black-cats-are-bad-luck thing, but I can't help but consider it every time the foolish feline interrupts my smoke break. My question is: If I get rid of the "sign", if I take it into my own hands to rid myself of this omen, will the potential bad luck diminish?

It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroe and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle's lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.
