In America, at least, there was a superstition that if a black cat came into the theatre that was really good luck, and if it came on the first night that was really, really good luck and the whole show was going to be amazing. So the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York used to keep a black cat backstage, and then on the first show of every run they would throw it out there so that it was on stage, and that was good luck.
