advises that black cats are called voids because they are there but we cannot always see them. This is certainly the case with our cat Obsidian, who kindly modelled for the part of Ovid's cat, Void. Homework reveals that Ovid himself is partly responsible for the black cat superstition. He wrote a short poem about the Egyptian cat goddess Bast, which cast aspersions and got him into hot water. Ovid was good at that.
