It was believed that a witch could transform into feline form only nine times (hence the superstition of cats having nine lives).In the modern era, the black cat has often been used symbolically. For instance, the image of a scared black cat was adopted by anarchist groups. NASA made a special mission patch for its STS-41C space shuttle crew with a black cat and the number 13. (STS-41C would have been named STS-13, but NASA changed the naming system of its missions to avoid the number 13 and to accommodate higher numbering of future missions.)

T’Challa was no doubt a popular name for black cats. However, it’s important to note that the word “panther” describes a color variant in large cat species and is not a separate species itself. Panthers from Asia and Africa are leopards, and panthers from the Americas are jaguars.It’s a myth that black cats are adopted less than other cats in shelters.
