Are BLACK Cats unique?

I am the very owner of a gorgeous black cat !!!
I am not really sure that a black cat is BETTER than another one , but I surely believe they have special qualities !!!
He doesn't really like to sit on a lap for a long time , but he is a master in giving hugs whenever he feels I need some support !
He is also a very independent cat and loves to do just what HE wants !!! maybe this is a result of the Middle Ages where all black cats were banned ; so they had to be very strong and clever to survive !!
Anyway , my Sydney is a real sweet cat , who loves to eat and purr at the same time !!!
