Why Is a Black Cat Unlucky?
Back cats are often viewed as superstitious and are especially popular at Halloween time. However do you know the reason for this? Let me tell you. Back in the middle ages, Europeans often believed that a black cat was a reincarnate witch in feline form, thus people believed meeting a black cat could bring you bad luck.
However, on trick or treat night, dressing up as a black cat can have the opposite effect. Wear a fantastic Black cat costume and you may just end up filling your treat bag right to the brim.

🧑🎨 Expert Tips for Toilet Roll Black Cat Craft
- Shape the Ears Right: Gently pinch the top of the toilet roll inward to form two pointed ears—this gives your cat the perfect silhouette.
- Use Matte Black Paint: Choose matte acrylic paint for a sleek fur-like finish. Let it dry fully before moving on.
- Layer the Details: Start with the base paint, then layer on facial features like eyes, nose, and whiskers using paint pens or cut paper.
- Add a Tail: Craft a curvy tail from black cardstock or a black pipe cleaner and glue it firmly to the back.
- Stick on a Collar: Use a small strip of ribbon or paper in bright colors to make a cute collar around the middle.
- Balance It Out: If the roll wobbles, glue a circle of cardboard underneath for extra stability.
