Are black civet cats with white legs bad? My uncle said that cats with four white hooves are bad for families. Is there any folk saying like this?

These are all superstitious statements.

Upon closer inspection, scientists discovered that the cells that govern color and markings in cats appear during the development of cat embryos. These cells first appear as neural crest cells, initially located on the back of the cat embryo, and then the cells slowly spread down the embryo.

If the cells spread far enough, the embryo will develop into a solid-colored kitten, such as all black or all orange. But when these cells fail to spread completely, the cat will develop white feet, white face, white chest and white belly. So the next time you see a kitten wearing white socks, you'll know that this trait is the result of a combination of genetic mutation, domestication, and embryonic development.

Extended information:

Cats with white legs and other colors are called "dark clouds and snow" in some places. It is said that the owners of such cats will be unlucky. However, this statement is not reliable. In some areas, there are completely opposite opinions about cats with this color. For example, there is a saying that a cat with four white feet is called "four hooves treading on the snow". Such a cat is a lucky cat. Will bring good luck.

In fact, the color of a cat’s body is only related to its genetic genes and does not affect the luck of its owner. The so-called "dark clouds covering the snow" or "four hooves stepping on the snow" are just The subjective will imposed on it by people.
