Black Cat Halloween Witch On A Dark Desert Highways Cat Lady T Shirt.
Cats have been a central theme in human society for many millennia. The Egyptians revered their feline companions and their remains have been entombed alongside their human owners. Cat art or cat images has adorned the walls of homes, temples and even made an appearance in our modern day shopping malls with the world renowned “Warwick the cat”. This list looks at the most well-known women in history who had a special affinity to cats.
Black Cats are well known for their association with Halloween. The black cat is generally considered a ‘bad omen’ in various cultures. Amongst other purposes, it is a symbol of witch-craft, which is why many people choose to avoid the black cat during Halloween, though not all folk customs hold this belief. Given its unique coloring, those that do view black cats as a bad omen believe that the cat has seen into the afterlife and can predict the future.
A cat lady is a woman who has a lot of cats, especially a woman who lives alone and is considered to be slightly strange. It is not offensive to be called a cat lady beyond the fact that some people find it rude as they are not actually cats and do not wish to be part of a woman’s collection. The origin of the phrase is unclear but most likely arose from popular culture in the 80s relating to the American comedian Lily Tomlin who played numerous eccentric characters. Perhaps her most famous character, Edith Ann earned her the reputation as an amusingly weird cat-loving old spinster obsessed with her pets in “Edith Ann’s Picture Show” (1981). Her role as Ernestine in “The Late Show” (1993) also enhanced her image with an enthusiastic portrayal of eccentricity and odd behaviour. Another possible origin for this expression could come from American novelist Betty MacDonald who also created characters that were slightly weird, although not directly having anything to do with cats.
