Guy Can’t Get His Cat To Sit In The Circle, But Then Discovers Something Frightening About His Cat

ADVERTISEMENT

They say that cats are demons – so this kitty owner decided to test something for himself. First, he drew a circle to see if his feline would care to sit in it. Nope, no reaction at all. Then he tried the same thing by drawing a square. Still, no response. Finally, the guy drew something that looks similar to a pentagram – and guess what – that did the trick! The next second, the fur ball was already sitting in the middle of it.

Is it a coincidence or proof that the things people say about cats are true? What’s your take on it? Do you feel like cuddling this kitty or running away from it to save your life?

(h/t)

They say that cats are demons – so this kitty owner decided to test something…

He drew different geometric shapes, but his cat chose something that looked like a pentagram

After this ‘frightening’ proof, do you still have doubts cats are ‘evil’?

That's a great idea bored panda. Let's encourage people to avoid adopting black cats and to torment them because they are "evil". The poor things get enough grief and have the lowest adoption rates among cats at the shelter because of peoples fears and superstitions about them.

First off, this is a five pointed star and not a pentacle. Might wanna learn your s**t before opening yer gob and spouting it. Secondly, a cat, black, white, or rainbow f*****g coloured has nothing to do with evil. Thirdly, pentacles have nothing to do with evil. Just as much evilness about them as a kitchen knife. So, no, this ain't funny, cause s**t posts like this are taken by angry, stupid, biased people as excuses to kill and torture innocent animals. Jerk.

Obviously this is a joke, but not a very good one. Some people are really superstitious and believe that black cats are bad luck. As a result, they have a harder time getting adopted and higher chance of getting abused around halloween. Some people may be able to take this lightheartedly but others will use this as an opportunity to worsen the situation. Other animal, such as pit bulls, carry negative stereotypes as well. We should be more carful about how joke about these things. Poor taste in humor bored panda.

You simply cannot stop people from making light hearted jokes about things purely because someone may take it the wrong way. Infact this is exactly what is wrong with society, the need for evreything to be politically correct is absolutely ridiculous. This article is not going to change anyones intentions, if someone believes black cats are evil, if they intend on harming an animal, they are going todo it regardless of this insignificant article. Stop picking holes in things just for the sake of it.

First of all, a pentagram is simply a shape. It appears in millions of places and is most commonly used to represent a star. It's been used in numerous different religions for many reasons, mostly as a positive symbol. The inverted pentagram was associated with witchcraft and satanism, but that was only due to the inverting of the symbol to mean the opposite and for the symbol representing the satanic goat head. Even if you want to believe in any symbolism, which is only made up by humans and cats don't give one flying s**t about, take a look at where the cat was and the cat's point of view of the symbol. Yes, he saw it right-side up. In the end, it could have easily been staged and the pictures could just as likely be out of order or the cat was finally just interested enough to see what his owner was up to. Either way, it means absolutely nothing and there's no reason to even try to put into anyone's head that cats, especially black, are linked to anything supernaturally negative.

First of all, yes, this makes me doubt even MORE that "black cats are evil', because PENTAGRAMS are not evil. They are protective symbols of pagans. Representing the 5 elements. 'Earth, air, fire, water, and Spirit'. But this article did convince me that the writer is an ignorant moron.

Pentagrams are NOT evil, signs of the devil, etc. Do some research. They are signs of certain modern PAGAN religions, but they come from the Sumerians & has been used by the Pythagoreans & by early Christians, among others. Sir Gawain in medieval Arthurian tales had a pentagram on his shield. So nope, fail, not what you think it is. The cat obviously is aware of this LOL

BTW, that is a star not a pentagram and you are also trampling on some people's religious beliefs as well.

Thats amazing but if you look at it propperly it's the opposite a pentagram isn't achally a tool of worshiping the devil, it's the opposite, pentagrams are use to trap deamons and warn them away. The cat choosing to lay there is more could mean its hidings from somthing we cannot see. Offcourse that's simply an educated guess.

Being a protective symbol the cat probably decided it was a good option. Add to that a treat for bait to get him in the star and the high probability that photos were selective. I find this conclusion flawed.

This probably happened because the cat finally figured out what The Human wanted it to do. And nice going, Bored Panda; throw more shade on black cats. As a volunteer at my local animal shelter, I see way too many black cats that have horrible, HORRIBLE things happen to them simply because some people are idiots. Way to continue the trend.

Pentagrams are for protection you numb nuts. The 5 spikes symbolise water, air, earth, fire and the top one is spirit... It protects the one who wears it and the house. The cirkle around the star is also a symbol of protection and to keep magic inside, please note magic NOT black magic. So IF this cat reacted to anything it was a wish to protect it's owner and it's home. And that the cats colour would make it more or less evil is absurd. All cats are d***s in my opinion but not evil... Only humans have that potential.

Legs, tail, mouth and he just let us. His claws were never out. Always retracted. One big lump of goo. He only loved the family and no else. These guys get a bad rap and it's just not fair. I miss him very much. :(

I have a problem with this post. I for one am Pagan, I dont need drama just hear me out. That is a picture of a plain ole star nothing more. A pentagram is the same star in a circle with the primary point facing south (down) a pentagram (symbol of good and pure) is the same star again in a circle with the primary point facing north ( to the heavens). I agree that its rather odd that this normal cat is only sitting on the star, but that doesn't confirm nor say that cats are the devil or evil or satanic in any way possible. Just another weird cat in my books.

This is dumb. First demons do not exist, so trying to link someone's cat to one is equivalent to a mordern day witch hunt. Is this the 1600's? Second we only see photos, for all we know the owner placed his cat in his star. But let's say he didn't for sake of argument. Well the star has a smaller closed off area that would be more attractive to a cat who likes confined spaces. The circle and the square were too big for the cat's interest. This isn't even funny or entertaining, you should consider removing this rediculous story!

pentacles aren't even attached to satanism. They are a pagan symbol reaching back past celts. While satanists in recent years have since adopted the symbol and added a goat skull to it. The symbol itself is not inherently evil. If anything that cat is divine.

Or maybe it is the pentagon in the middle of the STAR that drew him. The pentagon, the same shape as our Pentagon. Perhaps this kitty is actually working as a secret agent to protect his owner's life. The points on the star may be completely irrelevant. Or maybe he is sitting in a STAR and not a pentagram. Which means he is a shining star of a cuddly furball.

Bigots... Let's add furl to the fire against Paganism... You know what, BoredPanda is clearly part of the problem. What kind of site equates a religion they clearly know nothing about with demons? An ignorant site. Paganism isn't Satanism (you have to be Christian to embrace Satanism, btw). I won't be back. Nice way to add to the hate in the world by embracing ignorance, promoting a backwards idea of what you think Paganism is, especially in an era where people are already hating based on skin colour or religion or gender, etc.

First off its a star. No more no less. It isn't the shape of the outline but the size. This man could now do a circle and a square or triangle and cat will sit there as long as it is that size. Cats are not demons.

A pentagram is not an 'symbol' but a protective one. It's five points represent the four elements of earth, air, fire and water along with the fifth element of spirit. The poor creature was probably trying to protect itself from you. And as an another person posted - associating black cats with ill informed wittering about evil is nothing the right way to go about changing the anti black cat prejudice which prevents them being adopted

First off, that's not a pentagram, it's a star. Pentagrams are not evil, it's people who make it evil. Pentagrams can be a positive thing too. Second, I had a black cat for 21 years and he was the best and most gentle cat you could ever want. Lastly, there was no video showing the cat moving to the star to lay down. You could have put him there yourself.

Okay, I have several things to say: 1) Please notice that people kill black cats just on idiot superstitions. This post said, "Yeah black cats are totally evil let's just kill them!" 2) That looks like a star. Apparently I've been praying to Satan all this time? 3) It isn't evil, it has to do with Pagan culture. If it meant anything, the cat was trying to protect his owner. 4) How do we know that they didn't just PUT him there? 5) If the cat just got bored and sat there for no ACTUAL reason, he just sat there because it was small. Just to cozy up more? Please read this with concern. I like cats no matter what their color, and I DON'T believe in superstitions because they're not real.

Someone didn't do his/her homework. The pentagram is in fact a costellation, considered in ancient times for the most beautiful symbol, that's why in Greek mythology it was the symbol of Aphrodite - the goddess of beauty. Of course when Christianity took over, the church condemned the symbol as satanic, diabolic; the same was implied for the trident of Poseidon.

pentagrams are to ward off evil and far before the church spread rumors about cats during their witch hunt period cats ( especially black cats) were kept to ward off evil spirits and where known to be messengers to more than one god in various religions. If this shows anything is that you might have a haunted house and the cat found the safest place to be.

Actually, having black cats are Good Luck to me. Before I had a cat, I was almost always with bad luck and two almost killed me. After I had one, I never had accidents that could kill me or give me major injuries. I was out for more than 3 months & travel in fairly long miles & near misses of deaths came to me. He's my good luck trinket & I sleep better whenever they are around. I have phobia in darkness & I sleep better with black cats or black dogs with me. I feel safe.

This was clearly meant as a joke but you also realise that black cats are good luck not bad and also the pentagram is a symbol of protection not evil. The pentagram inverted is said to be evil. So a joke to some people actually sheds bad light on others especially cats that need to be loved not feared.

The Pentagram isn't an "evil" symbol. It's pre-christian, therefore has nothing to do with the "devil" or "Satan". Actually, the 5 pointed star is good luck. Each point stands for an element ie; Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Spirit (or Soul). Plus, black cats are not bad luck. Educate yourself before attempting to write a glib article.

For centuries the pentagram was only used for good and it's only in recent times that people have put the negative connotations on it. The five points represent the 5 places that Christ was wounded. Now if you want to look at this in a more positive way perhaps the cat went inside the pentagram to try and escape the evil around it.

Thats a pentacle, not a pentagram, there is a difference. If it were inverted, then it would be a pentagram. Pentacles are prominent in Wicca and pagan cultures and are NOT a symbol of evil/the devil, its annoying how many people mix these two symbols up.

You call this proof? Scientific studies are about repeatable results. Getting a cat to lay in the middle of a star one time is nothing more than coincidence. Get the cat to do that EVERY TIME and then you'll have something. Plus a pentagram is a star with a circle around it. That's just a star, not a pentagram.

The Pentagram, also called a pentacle or Pentalpha, gets its name from the Greek penta, meaning “five” and gramma, meaning “a letter”. It is a five-pointed figure, constructed by intersected five straight lines. It is usually associated with femininity, knowledge and also used in Wiccan and Celtic religions. Just because some dumb cult stole it and say its evil doesnt make it evil. Most religions and cultures associated with it dont believe in hell or the devil so youre jist spreading more falsehoods and potentially ruining the ability for good loving animals to find homes based on their color. Do some real research before posting dumb s**t like this.

I have a beautiful black cat named Olive. She is both amazingly sweet and at times a pain in the butt, but she is far from evil. That shape is a five-pointed star or pentacle, but even if it was a pentagram, it is a myth that the pentagram is a symbol of evil.

It looks more like a pentacle. You know, a sign for PROTECTION! You cretins know nothing. Cats, especially black ones, protect us. They are adept at seeing the supernatural, and will warm you if you have a demon. The only reason black cats have a bad rep is because of the people that owned them. They usually practiced practices that brought the demons in the first place. And what happened? The cats started acting strangely, people got possessed, and they'd rather blame the cat than be pegged as a devil worshipper.

We now have a black and white cat, and like our first cat he is absolutely lively. Me and my mum believe that actually black cats are one of the best to adopt.

It is stupidity and ignorance like the one displayed in this article that cause a lot of superstition about black cats, thus not being adopted or being abandoned, and then dying in shelters or out on the streets. Please remove this b******t. You are full of s**t, Elizabeth. This post is not 'cute', it is uneducated, not funny, not cute, and full on garbage.

These poor animals have enough of a bad reputation because of people's ignorance! Don't perpetuate this myth! This is why black cats are abused and tortured especially around Halloween. 😩 👎 😾

A pentagram includes a circle around the star, doesn't it? This is simply a star that the cat is sitting in. She is acknowledging that, yes, she is magnificent and star worthy. That is all. Oh, and by the way, if a black cat crosses your path, it simply means that the cat is going somewhere. Black cats are fantastic! Just look at Cole from Cole and Marmalade.

Maybe its a sign the cat thought it was preventing evil from coming in through the shape? Or maybe it will turn good luck if it sits in it. Maybe the cat wants to be a "star"? Or to finish the spell of protection maybe the cat knew they had to sit in it for the spell to work? This is in poor taste though thinking a black cat in connected to evil just because it is black. It can not help what color it is. Also maybe just like people old or round but a Freaking star! that cat just has a personality and has their particular preferences just as people do? Not a boring personality

After all, there's nothing wrong with perpetuating a stereotyping lie if it gets a few laughs, right? Maybe you idiots should have thought this through and done research on how much black cats and dogs actually languish in shelters because of c**p beliefs like this. If you did, you would know that many shelters in October will not adopt black cats out because sick people like to sacrifice them. Because, you know, black cats belong to Satan.

We tortured humans over their colour (and still do in some places) so it doesn't surprise me that this dickwaddery is still going on. As for Wire Dreamer's attempts to trivialise this as a "f*****g joke", you might want to see some of the emails I get daily, about people who torture and abuse animals by dragging them out of the backs of trucks because 'they thought they were the devil', and other r******d excuses.

Obviously this is a joke, but not a very good one. Some people are really superstitious and believe that black cats are bad luck. As a result, they have a harder time getting adopted and higher chance of getting abused around halloween. Some people may be able to take this lightheartedly but others will use this as an opportunity to worsen the situation. Other animal, such as pit bulls, carry negative stereotypes as well. We should be more carful about how joke about these things. Poor taste in humor bored panda.

First of all, a pentagram is simply a shape. It appears in millions of places and is most commonly used to represent a star. It's been used in numerous different religions for many reasons, mostly as a positive symbol. The inverted pentagram was associated with witchcraft and satanism, but that was only due to the inverting of the symbol to mean the opposite and for the symbol representing the satanic goat head. Even if you want to believe in any symbolism, which is only made up by humans and cats don't give one flying s**t about, take a look at where the cat was and the cat's point of view of the symbol. Yes, he saw it right-side up. In the end, it could have easily been staged and the pictures could just as likely be out of order or the cat was finally just interested enough to see what his owner was up to. Either way, it means absolutely nothing and there's no reason to even try to put into anyone's head that cats, especially black, are linked to anything supernaturally negative.

First of all, yes, this makes me doubt even MORE that "black cats are evil', because PENTAGRAMS are not evil. They are protective symbols of pagans. Representing the 5 elements. 'Earth, air, fire, water, and Spirit'. But this article did convince me that the writer is an ignorant moron.

Pentagrams are NOT evil, signs of the devil, etc. Do some research. They are signs of certain modern PAGAN religions, but they come from the Sumerians & has been used by the Pythagoreans & by early Christians, among others. Sir Gawain in medieval Arthurian tales had a pentagram on his shield. So nope, fail, not what you think it is. The cat obviously is aware of this LOL

The cat choosing to lay there is more could mean its hidings from somthing we cannot see. Offcourse that's simply an educated guess.

Pentagrams are for protection you numb nuts. The 5 spikes symbolise water, air, earth, fire and the top one is spirit... It protects the one who wears it and the house. The cirkle around the star is also a symbol of protection and to keep magic inside, please note magic NOT black magic. So IF this cat reacted to anything it was a wish to protect it's owner and it's home. And that the cats colour would make it more or less evil is absurd. All cats are d***s in my opinion but not evil... Only humans have that potential.

Legs, tail, mouth and he just let us. His claws were never out. Always retracted. One big lump of goo. He only loved the family and no else. These guys get a bad rap and it's just not fair. I miss him very much. :(

I have a problem with this post. I for one am Pagan, I dont need drama just hear me out. That is a picture of a plain ole star nothing more. A pentagram is the same star in a circle with the primary point facing south (down) a pentagram (symbol of good and pure) is the same star again in a circle with the primary point facing north ( to the heavens). I agree that its rather odd that this normal cat is only sitting on the star, but that doesn't confirm nor say that cats are the devil or evil or satanic in any way possible. Just another weird cat in my books.

This is dumb. First demons do not exist, so trying to link someone's cat to one is equivalent to a mordern day witch hunt. Is this the 1600's? Second we only see photos, for all we know the owner placed his cat in his star. But let's say he didn't for sake of argument. Well the star has a smaller closed off area that would be more attractive to a cat who likes confined spaces. The circle and the square were too big for the cat's interest. This isn't even funny or entertaining, you should consider removing this rediculous story!

pentacles aren't even attached to satanism. They are a pagan symbol reaching back past celts. While satanists in recent years have since adopted the symbol and added a goat skull to it. The symbol itself is not inherently evil. If anything that cat is divine.

Or maybe it is the pentagon in the middle of the STAR that drew him. The pentagon, the same shape as our Pentagon. Perhaps this kitty is actually working as a secret agent to protect his owner's life. The points on the star may be completely irrelevant. Or maybe he is sitting in a STAR and not a pentagram. Which means he is a shining star of a cuddly furball.

An ignorant site. Paganism isn't Satanism (you have to be Christian to embrace Satanism, btw). I won't be back. Nice way to add to the hate in the world by embracing ignorance, promoting a backwards idea of what you think Paganism is, especially in an era where people are already hating based on skin colour or religion or gender, etc.

A pentagram is not an 'symbol' but a protective one. It's five points represent the four elements of earth, air, fire and water along with the fifth element of spirit. The poor creature was probably trying to protect itself from you. And as an another person posted - associating black cats with ill informed wittering about evil is nothing the right way to go about changing the anti black cat prejudice which prevents them being adopted

Second, I had a black cat for 21 years and he was the best and most gentle cat you could ever want. Lastly, there was no video showing the cat moving to the star to lay down. You could have put him there yourself.

Okay, I have several things to say: 1) Please notice that people kill black cats just on idiot superstitions. This post said, "Yeah black cats are totally evil let's just kill them!" 2) That looks like a star. Apparently I've been praying to Satan all this time? 3) It isn't evil, it has to do with Pagan culture. If it meant anything, the cat was trying to protect his owner. 4) How do we know that they didn't just PUT him there? 5) If the cat just got bored and sat there for no ACTUAL reason, he just sat there because it was small. Just to cozy up more? Please read this with concern. I like cats no matter what their color, and I DON'T believe in superstitions because they're not real.

I have doubts about the person who did this, not about the cat... why chose a pentagram, does it mean anthing actually. No it doesn't. It's just lines.

Someone didn't do his/her homework. The pentagram is in fact a costellation, considered in ancient times for the most beautiful symbol, that's why in Greek mythology it was the symbol of Aphrodite - the goddess of beauty. Of course when Christianity took over, the church condemned the symbol as satanic, diabolic; the same was implied for the trident of Poseidon.

pentagrams are to ward off evil and far before the church spread rumors about cats during their witch hunt period cats ( especially black cats) were kept to ward off evil spirits and where known to be messengers to more than one god in various religions. If this shows anything is that you might have a haunted house and the cat found the safest place to be.

Actually, having black cats are Good Luck to me. Before I had a cat, I was almost always with bad luck and two almost killed me. After I had one, I never had accidents that could kill me or give me major injuries. I was out for more than 3 months & travel in fairly long miles & near misses of deaths came to me. He's my good luck trinket & I sleep better whenever they are around. I have phobia in darkness & I sleep better with black cats or black dogs with me. I feel safe.

Black cats and cats in general aren't evil. They get a lot of grief not being adopted as much as dogs are from the shelters. People's fears and superstitions have lead to this cat abuse. But the guy was doing and experiment. I think we should take this guy literally. HE was making a joke. I don't think he is supposed to be taken seriously.

This was clearly meant as a joke but you also realise that black cats are good luck not bad and also the pentagram is a symbol of protection not evil. The pentagram inverted is said to be evil. So a joke to some people actually sheds bad light on others especially cats that need to be loved not feared.

The Pentagram isn't an "evil" symbol. It's pre-christian, therefore has nothing to do with the "devil" or "Satan". Actually, the 5 pointed star is good luck. Each point stands for an element ie; Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Spirit (or Soul). Plus, black cats are not bad luck. Educate yourself before attempting to write a glib article.

For centuries the pentagram was only used for good and it's only in recent times that people have put the negative connotations on it. The five points represent the 5 places that Christ was wounded. Now if you want to look at this in a more positive way perhaps the cat went inside the pentagram to try and escape the evil around it.

Thats a pentacle, not a pentagram, there is a difference. If it were inverted, then it would be a pentagram. Pentacles are prominent in Wicca and pagan cultures and are NOT a symbol of evil/the devil, its annoying how many people mix these two symbols up.

You call this proof? Scientific studies are about repeatable results. Getting a cat to lay in the middle of a star one time is nothing more than coincidence. Get the cat to do that EVERY TIME and then you'll have something. Plus a pentagram is a star with a circle around it. That's just a star, not a pentagram.

The Pentagram, also called a pentacle or Pentalpha, gets its name from the Greek penta, meaning “five” and gramma, meaning “a letter”. It is a five-pointed figure, constructed by intersected five straight lines. It is usually associated with femininity, knowledge and also used in Wiccan and Celtic religions. Just because some dumb cult stole it and say its evil doesnt make it evil. Most religions and cultures associated with it dont believe in hell or the devil so youre jist spreading more falsehoods and potentially ruining the ability for good loving animals to find homes based on their color. Do some real research before posting dumb s**t like this.

It looks more like a pentacle. You know, a sign for PROTECTION! You cretins know nothing. Cats, especially black ones, protect us. They are adept at seeing the supernatural, and will warm you if you have a demon. The only reason black cats have a bad rep is because of the people that owned them. They usually practiced practices that brought the demons in the first place. And what happened? The cats started acting strangely, people got possessed, and they'd rather blame the cat than be pegged as a devil worshipper.

We now have a black and white cat, and like our first cat he is absolutely lively. Me and my mum believe that actually black cats are one of the best to adopt.

A pentagram includes a circle around the star, doesn't it? This is simply a star that the cat is sitting in. She is acknowledging that, yes, she is magnificent and star worthy. That is all. Oh, and by the way, if a black cat crosses your path, it simply means that the cat is going somewhere. Black cats are fantastic! Just look at Cole from Cole and Marmalade.

Technically thats a pentacle, pentagrams are drawn while pentacles are made from diffrent materials such as tape or metal. They also arent always for evil. Im a wiccan and use them for protection and purification charms.

This stupid a*s hell. I am actually a witch and owned a black cat plus three other pets. I draw a circle for ritual and she couldn't given less of a damn. Both my cats look at me like I was bothering them because they were takings naps and I was making to much noise.

Pentagram was first ised as a God sign, after that it is used as a sign of a bad energy. It is good you first do some research before writting that kind of bullshits!

All cats are more intelligent than people give them credit for. The design the cat chose resembles the pattern on the sheet/blanket you see on the sofa which it's already familiar with.

Maybe its a sign the cat thought it was preventing evil from coming in through the shape? Or maybe it will turn good luck if it sits in it. Maybe the cat wants to be a "star"? Or to finish the spell of protection maybe the cat knew they had to sit in it for the spell to work? This is in poor taste though thinking a black cat in connected to evil just because it is black. It can not help what color it is. Also maybe just like people old or round but a Freaking star! that cat just has a personality and has their particular preferences just as people do? Not a boring personality

Really? REALLY? The cat chose the star shape because the center section was smaller and felt more cozy. Put down several boxes of varying sizes. The cat will usually choose the smallest box it can get into.

This is stupid. What's next,an article about how pit bulls really are vicious child eaters? Then an article about how all Blacks like fried chicken and watermelon and Asians do great laundry? After all, there's nothing wrong with perpetuating a stereotyping lie if it gets a few laughs, right? Maybe you idiots should have thought this through and done research on how much black cats and dogs actually languish in shelters because of c**p beliefs like this. If you did, you would know that many shelters in October will not adopt black cats out because sick people like to sacrifice them. Because, you know, black cats belong to Satan. You really screwed this up, bored panda.

YOU ARE AN A**HOLE FOR POSTING THIS! Do you have any idea how difficult it already is to find homes for black cats and dogs? And how often black cats are demonized and tortured, especially around Halloween? I don't even care if this was posted as a joke. You've potentially reinforced negative opinions of black cats with this asinine story.

What a stupid article. Black cats can't help their colour? Americans freak out about them to start with - so go on, encourage the hate - pathetic. Have you considered that the photographer may have PLACED the bloody cat there? Whoever wrote this article should be sacked - a total anti witchcraft blatant attack by some nitwit evangelical writer.

Pentagrams aren't actually evil, or satanic. That's what people of so called faith spread around, paganism has been around longer than christianity.

Pentagrams don't represent evil, that's what people of faith, passed around, because paganism is not Christianity. Like all the other BS they preach and spread.

One experiment on one cat does not prove anything. Perhaps it's only this one cat which sits in a pentagram. Somebody needs to do this experiment with other black cats to see if all black cats do this, and then somebody needs to do it with some non-black cats to see if all cats do this.

I've seen some f*****g irresponsible posts in my time but this one takes the cake. There are enough morons in this world without giving them more stupid ideas about tormenting innocent animals and over colour, ffs. We tortured humans over their colour (and still do in some places) so it doesn't surprise me that this dickwaddery is still going on. As for Wire Dreamer's attempts to trivialise this as a "f*****g joke", you might want to see some of the emails I get daily, about people who torture and abuse animals by dragging them out of the backs of trucks because 'they thought they were the devil', and other r******d excuses. So YOU get a f*****g life, shitforbrains, because I'm NOT a cat person, just a normal, caring human being that sees s**t like this posing as entertainment, and gets mad about it.
