Witches and Their Familiars
Long ago, people believed witches had animal helpers called familiars, and black cats were the most famous of all. But cats weren't the only ones. Owls, ravens, toads and even spiders were said to lend a paw... or a wing...

Coloring a Black Cat
Here's a secret: a black cat colored in solid black crayon loses all its details, like its whiskers, its fur and even the shape of its face. Instead, try a dark grey or a deep purple or navy blue for most of the fur, then go over the darkest spots, like the back and the tail, with black. Leave a few lighter streaks where the moonlight would hit, along the top of the head and down the back.
Black cats almost always have bright yellow, gold or green eyes, and against all that dark fur they really glow. A little white dot in each eye makes them look shiny. For the background, a big orange moon, a purple night sky or a pile of orange pumpkins makes a black cat pop right off the page.
And whether black cats are lucky depends on who you ask. In much of North America they're said to be bad luck, but in Britain and Japan a black cat crossing your path is a sign that good things are on the way.
