How and why did the black cat superstition come true?

In: Cats (Felines), Halloween, Supernatural and the Occult [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have a feeling it is because of the fact that one of the most popular familiars for witches is a black cat. And back then they were mightily afraid of witches...i think that's where the Friday the 13 superstition came from as well.
But of course not all witches are evil, so i don't think the black cat superstition really is true
