2. Why can't black cats be kept at home?

The black cat is a legendary cat that invites evil; it originates from the ancient Egyptian legend of the god Boknor, where in ancient Egypt its role was to let people full of resentment worship and make offerings to it, and at a certain time make a wish to it; the more malicious the content, the easier it was to fulfill. But at the same time, the cat is a very mysterious creature, and each time a wish is granted it collects a certain payment, though what that payment consists of is unknown. The West considers the black cat an unlucky animal, especially on the 13th and on Fridays; moreover, encountering a black cat on Friday the 13th is the unluckiest of the unlucky. So generally people do not keep black cats at home, for fear of affecting feng shui.
