Le Chat Noir – The First of the Black Cat Meme?
First, a note on one or two particular memes. The poster for the 1880s cabaret venue called “Le Chat Noir” is very famous and can be considered one of the first black cat memes, despite being created before the internet. Even now, many people have a version of it hanging on the walls in their living rooms or bedrooms.
1. Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat)

The Cursed Cat
The cursed cat meme is another popular one on the internet. It all started when some photos were taken at a shooting scene in Derby, UK, back in 2008. One of the pictures showed a black cat crossing the road next to two police officers. Over the years, a cropped version of that image was widely shared online in news articles and blog posts.
Then, in November 2018, someone made a funny edit of the image. They turned the cat into a skinny black cat meme that looked like it was standing on two legs, with an angry expression.

Black Cats Are Not Bad Luck
In medieval Europe, people believed that black cats, in particular, were associated with the devil and witches. They thought that witches could turn into black cats and cause trouble. So, if a black cat crossed your path, it was seen as a bad sign. People feared it could be a witch or even the devil in disguise.
Today, we know better, and instead, black cat memes enjoy making fun of the trope.

Scary Black Cat Memes
Some people believe that black cats bring bad luck, and this idea might even make the kitties seem evil or scary. It’s unfortunate that black cats are adopted less and often put to sleep more compared to cats of other colors, as both stories and studies have shown.
However, we cat-lovers don’t take the superstitions too seriously and have fun with them. We appreciate and love all cats, regardless of their color, breed, or what people say about them.

The Biters
Sometimes cats can bite, and black cats have an unlucky reputation that seems to make them even more guilty of such accusations. That’s why it’s not surprising that cute or funny memes often combine the two.
