BUDAPEST: For a Hungarian animal shelter, Halloween is less about pumpkins, witches and ghosts, but keeping black cats out of the hands of Satanists.
"Unfortunately cats here are prized by Satanists who want to use them in seances and sacrifical rituals around Halloween," Kinga Schneider, head of the Noah's Ark Foundation in Budapest, told AFP.
Schneider said the shelter always gets a spike of telephone enquiries in October asking if there were black cats available for adoption.
"We tell callers no cats are given out from the middle of October to the middle of November," she said.
Black cat nine lives
Short days long nights
Livin' on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat real strong
But not for long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die
Kat sini, kucing hitam tak ada orang pandang pun.
Kat rumah ni ada seekor, tu pun kesian bulu dah gugur balik.
Susah lah kalau tabiat makan pelik-pelik, cicak dan mengkarung pun dia sapu.
