Tammy Adams, the Paisley Lizard, is the sponsor of this Superstition Blog Hop held on November, Friday the 13th!   Tammy made black cats from polymer clay for all the participants to use.  Thank  you Tammy!  This enables all participants to have fun posting our cat jewelry, adding photos. talking about superstitions, and hoping from post to post.

My grandcat Boo

This is a special blog hop for me because I love cats. I have 3 of my own and 3 grandcats. My daughter has a very cute American Bombay cat named Boo. I love how he looks like a panther.

Superstitions about black cats originated long time ago and varies from nation to nation. Romans and Egyptians consider cats as sacred animals. Cat is worshiped in India and Israel. In European countries, a cat is not considered as a good animal (especially not black cat).  In Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches.  Most of Europe considers the black cat a symbol of bad luck, especially if one crosses paths with a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death.  In the United Kingdom it is commonly considered that a black cat crossing a person's path is a good omen.

Whimsical Black Cat with Fish Necklace by Bay Moon Design

Since I have positive feelings for black cats, I gave my polymer cat a whimsical look.  This whimsical black and gray cat necklace has a sterling silver fish suspended from rectangular black beads and black cord with silver accent beads.  The whimsical look of the cat necklace is  completed with a silver cat and tail toggle clasp.  The cat lover necklace has a modern and minimalist look to it. Any cat lover or owner of a  cat would love this piece of cat jewelry.   The cat necklace is 20 inches around and is available for sale HERE.

I made another cat necklace that will make a special Christmas gift for my daughter. The black ceramic cat pendant is suspended from a rustic handmade copper ring on a lightweight but strong copper colored chain. I added some square Czech glass beads, round golden brown beads added some sparkly beads to them and strung them on copper wire that matches the coppery colored chain. The chain necklace closes with a copper clasp. This piece of black cat jewelry has a modern and minimalist look to it also. Since she loves cats and has a black cat I think she will love it.
