Black Cat Emoji
What does the Black Cat emoji mean?
A sleek black cat on all fours, facing left with its tail held high. Often associated with bad luck, black cats were once thought in the Middle Ages to herald death.
This is a colored version of a regular cat, showing the pet with black fur. The emoji appears as a single, solid cat rendered entirely in black.
You can use this emoji to represent your pet if its fur is dark. Figuratively, a black cat often evokes the popular superstition about bad luck, but in reality no black cat has ever done anyone any harm.
