Animal lovers in Italy will celebrate the "Black Cat" arranged by an Italian animal organization.
Owners to black cats are asked to bring them to an award ceremony-- for people whom have helped to protect the Black Cat.
Thousands black cats are (remember it is a dark number) are killed or abandoned because a myth. According to the Italian Ass in Defense of Animals and Environment, around 7 000 black cats has disappeared in the Lombardy region-- each year.
.
Why? Many Italians think that when a black cat is crossing their path it is considered bad luck.
There are reports that some Italian motorists are waiting in their car for the black cat to cross the road so they can kill it with their car.
So the organization want to change the image of the black cat. Help changing and fighting peoples superstition, which is according to the organization a huge problem in this country.

This story breaks my heart...my Morgan is a beautiful little black cat who is so loveable and gentle.
I can't believe people would be so narrow-minded as to think that an animal of a certain color is bad.
It's so sad.
