Years ago, I used to have an orange-brown tabby. She was a perfectly normal short-haired cat, but skinny and delicate. She had one or two pink pads, but mostly her paw pads were black, and I always suspected this indicated that she had Siamese ancestors.
At last count there were five black cats ranging around the finca and, although I haven’t got close to the two smallest, when I saw these paws on the windowsill, I was struck by the fact that the three siblings born 15 months ago all have black pads.
After some brief on-line research, I find that this is to be expected, although, if I’ve understood correctly, it would theoretically be possible for a black cat to have pink paws.
Cat superstitions are different in Spain from in the UK, and black cats are considered unlucky, so perhaps we should be a little concerned at how many we have around. I’m just hoping that drinking tiger brains won’t turn them into zombies.
don't confuse the narrator 
En un diálogo de una antigua película, la chica le dice, asustada, al chico:
-“Acaba de cruzar un gato negro delante de nosotros. ¿Eso qué significa, buena o mala suerte?”.
A lo que el chico le responde:
-“Bueno, eso depende de lo que pase después”.

Habrá sido uno de ellos que cree que ser supersticioso da mala suerte.
(En inglés depende de si cruza del lado iquierdo o derecho. Y si cruza el gato negro delante de ti no está muy mal, pero si cruzas delante de él es mucho peor.)
