Few things say Halloween like black cats, although they are delightful any time of year. Thank you, Robin, for another excellent suggestion on Facebook. I tweet at @HalloweenHaunt. Much more can be found at TheHalloweenHaunt.com.

Wikipedia will tell you much about the history of black cat superstition. I will tell you much about witches (with a bit about their familiars thrown in) at Witches.TheHalloweenHaunt.com.
