Hi! Welcome to Pet Talk! I'm new here too, and I love it!
I'm also owned by a special black kitty! He's not very vocal like yours, but he's quite "busy". I rescued him 3 years ago, and since then, he's been rescuing lots of kitties on his own - he brings home strays! He's currently "mommy" to four youngsters that were each rescued separately last year. He's adopted kitties in four different states. What a guy! :D
Aawww Beeftink your Furbaby sounds wonderful - I've got a wonderful image of him going out and rounding up 'strays' saying 'Come to my house - it's great there'!!!
Oh and a big welcome to Pet Talk to you - hope you share lots of stories of all your furbabies with us.

How cute Beeftink!!! You sure have a sweetie! :)
Welcome!! :D
That sounds so cute. My kitties are inside cats. The only sociable thing I can think of is kindof embarressing - at least for my grown cat's MOM and me...
My black kitty has always been with her mom and the mom would NOT let this one go when they were at the rescue shelter. Funny enough when my cat was 7 months old she was still trying to suckle the mom who tolerated this for a few minutes only. And once in a while this happened for about the next year til me and the mom would tell the young cat that this was not "appropriate"!
My black kitty seems to have stopped her kittenish behavior now at almost 3 years old. lol
You guys have inspired me to update my NEW Cat Art website... I'll let you know when the new additions are up. And I need to do some more kitty art - yes like my lovely devilish black cat.

This is just a TREMENDOUS picture! A work of art, suitable for framing!
Sylv...your site is incredible, as is your artwork.
I've read somewhere about cat coloring and the various genetic criteria that creates the results. Black and White cats have something referred to as an "s" gene or "non tabby". I've been on a mission to find out if B&w kitties have a certain "personality" and think black kitties may also have something in their "genes"....
I had a vet tell me once that black and white kitties, particularly the ones with strong tuxedo markings ( white booties and white "bowtie") are very "highly strung" personalities. Well, Ritz reacts that way at the vets, although she's pretty laid back at home. A family member also has a tux kittie and it is uncanny how similar their behavior is, particularly when something in their world changes.
I wonder if there have been any studies on cat coloring/breed and demeanor.
