Cats, bats and wolves.... how did these animals get associated to superstition?
Why are some creatures, such as black cats, so closely associated with bad luck?
Why do they say that if wolves, shout deep in the dark night, mean that there's some evil presence over in the region?
Why some myths make animals sound spooky and evil? After all animals are normal creatures, but are given a bad reputation!
Let's hop into few superstitions surrounding our friends in the wild....
They are seen as evil because they are nocturnal. They come out at nights, and that when people think monsters made them think that these wild nocturnal creatures are sources of bad luck.
In movies and books, vampires turn into bats and suck blood. Bats are wild enough in their appearance, but dosen't mean that we have to relate this to bats. Real enough to speak upon, bats are not bloodstuckers.
We've seen dozen of times in movies and read out in books. A witch hops on a broom stick and her black cat rides along. Historically, black cats were called a familiar for witches.A familiar is an animal that has special relationship with a witch. They are so considered because, black cats find themselves to hide in dark.Many TV shows like TOM AND JERRY, and other famous programs, project black cats, bats and wolves as beastly animals. This infact is creating an impression even on children, who also have started considering the same.
HARRY POTTER, the famous novels, emphasises that PROF.LUPIN sees the moon and transforms into a killer wolf. Werewolves may be entertainment now, but practically, wolves aren't killers.
SOME SUPERSTITIOUS OWNERS STILL THINK THAT A BLACK CAT MEANS BAD LUCK. CONSEQUENTLY BLACK CATS ARE OFTEN ABANDONED.
