뜻
Describing a cat of black color.
문화적 배경
Finns spit three times over their left shoulder if a black cat crosses the road. They often say 'Pthyi, pthyi, pthyi!' Unlike in Finland, a black cat walking towards you or living in your house is often considered very good luck in British folklore. Black cats are symbols of good luck and are believed to ward off evil spirits and stalkers. The famous delivery company 'Kuroneko Yamato' uses a black cat logo. Cats, including black ones, were revered as manifestations of the goddess Bastet. Killing one was a capital crime.
