Despite the fact that cats are one of the most common pets in people’s households, we know relatively little about them. One of those reasons is the stigma that surrounds these feline creatures. In the Middle Ages, cats were thought of as companions of witches. When black cats were linked to Satanism and witchcraft, they were horribly tortured and killed. Even now, some consider seeing a black kitty running across their path a sign of bad luck.
Additionally, compared to dogs, cats can’t be as easily studied or worked with. The way the feline behaves is very dependent on their environment, and if you move it to a lab, the results won’t be very reflective of their normal behavior. What we mostly know about domestic cats comes from scientists running experiments in their own homes, and we’re very grateful for it. So just because a tabby gave you a side-eye, that doesn't mean that it doesn't want to befriend you.
