Origin[]

The Black Cats are characters from the 1929 Silly Symphony short The Skeleton Dance.

The short film begins with an owl perched on a branch, in front of the full moon, then shows an empty graveyard with a church in the background. The minute hand on the church's clock strikes twelve, causing its bell to start tolling, which causes a group of bats to flee from the belfry. A dog howls at the moon, while two cats fight over a grave. A group of living skeletons soon rise from their graves and start dancing.
