white cat

Pale-furred pet

A white cat is a cat with white fur, either entirely or predominantly.

The phrase is typically descriptive rather than denoting a specific breed—many breeds can produce white cats.

In folklore and superstition, white cats are sometimes considered lucky, contrasting with the black cat's ominous reputation.
