西方人也喜欢猫，并将猫养为宠物。但是黑猫却让西方人心生恐惧，尤其是英国人，他们将黑猫与女巫联系在上起。如果是在一个漆黑的星期五晚上碰上一只黑猫，便预示着此人会遭厄运。在英国古代的传说中，人们认为妖魔常变成黑色的动物，尤其是黑猫，还有人说黑猫就是巫婆变的。黑猫有九命，巫婆有变九次的魔法。杀死一只黑猫，她还可以再变八次。所以英语的猫还含有"心地恶毒的女人，爱说人坏话的女人"等意思。如，She is a cat（她是个包藏祸心的女人），Mrs Smith is a perfect cat（史密斯太太是个地地道道的长舌妇），The man and his wife lead a cat and dog life, and both are miserable （他们夫妻俩经常吵架，两人都感到痛苦）。It's difficult to get a man to bell the cat（敢于在危险中挺身而出的人不容易找到）。与猫有关的成语也很多，如：A cat has nine lives（猫有九命--自有天相），Cats hide their claws（猫总是藏起自己的爪子--知人知面不知心），All cats are grey in the dark （黑暗处的猫都是灰色的--人未出名时看起来都差不多），A gloved cat catches no mice（戴手套的猫抓不到老鼠--不愿吃苦的人成不了大事业），The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream（掩耳盗铃，自欺欺人）。Care killed the cat（忧虑伤身）， Let the cat out of bag（无意中泄露秘密），There's more ways than one to kill a cat（有的是办法），When the cat is away, the mice will play（猫不在，老鼠玩得自在），，like a cat on hot bricks（焦躁不安，如热锅上的蚂蚁），not a cat in hell's chance（毫无机会）。
