The black cat depicted on top of the post is similar to the one depicted on the town's boundary sign. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3387051 The origin of the association of a black cat with Kidwelly is obscure. One version is that a black cat was the first creature seen alive after a great plague hit the town. It was therefore honoured as a symbol of salvation and deliverance and subsequently used as Kidwelly's heraldic symbol.
