There's Luck Tropes and Bad Luck Charm. They might be what you're looking for.

That might actually be a good new trope. But I remember from one English schoolbook that a black cat crossing your path is considered a good luck charm in Britain.

Yeah, the black cats are bad luck myth is mostly present in America and some parts of Europe. In Britain and Japan, black cats are seen as good luck.

Ironically enough (is it irony?), it's white cats that are considered bad luck in Britain (I think).

So something like Cats Are Lucky Charms or Cats Mean Bad Luck / Cats Mean Good Luck, with soft slit examples for colour and culture variations? I'll try to contribute in YKTTW if you start one.
