Can someone talk about the history and evolution of the black cat in art and design?
Post Body
For a supposed symbol of bad luck, the black cat shows up in an awful lot of places in the art and design world.
It's a shorthand symbol for ancient Egypt (as Bast), it's a Jazz mascot, there's the "Chat Noir" poster found in every hipster New York Apartment, panthers show up a lot as a symbol of wealth (particularly in the art deco world).
How did the black cat come to represent so many different things?
