Official FAQ

Strategy
In the early game, Black Cat provides +2 Cards, making it similar to Moat with an equally low cost.
However, in the late game where both players are rushing for Provinces, this card is both a junking attack and sets up a potential big next turn with a six card hand. Chaining Black Cats together can easily provide a game winning turn and a big comeback. This makes buying a lot of Black Cats a viable strategy if you are behind.
Black cat can also be effective against alternate victory cards that need lots of copies, such as Duchy-Duke, Silk Roads, Vineyards, Fairgrounds and Gardens.
