Everybody's Black Kitties are just gorgeous, I think it maybe a superstition thing in the US, but here in NZ, Black cats are considered good luck if they cross your path, and I believe in Scotland too, so my mother tells me, so I think they would be more popular to adopt in NZ for that reason maybe.

I have never chosen my cats by colour, Ash well he was a stray no decision there, and I was never going to adopt another Blackie after loosing my sweet boy Sootie, too painful a memory, but fate would have it, Lexie came into my life, and she just happened to be a black sweet girl, and she is the best.

You cannot beat a Black Beauty IMO, not that I am biased or anything.
