What Black Cats Mean in Every Country (2026)

In this video, we show what black cats mean around the world using an animated world map. Discover where black cats are associated with good luck, bad luck, protection, love, and witchcraft. Explore different cultural beliefs and superstitions, and see how the meaning of the same animal can change from one country to another. Beliefs vary between regions and communities, so the map presents general cultural traditions rather than views shared by everyone in each country. Some classifications are approximate where reliable country-level data is unavailable. The goal of this video is to visualize fascinating cultural differences through a clear and engaging world map animation.
