Please tell me about your black cats.

Do you want pictures?

I'll certainly send you some testimonials since I've had several, though one was the world's worst sprayer - I'll leave him out. I didn't realize they were overlooked since they are my favourite.

You can place photos on the thread, but I may not be able to use photos for my project. Not sure yet.

Oh yes, please leave the "sprayer" OUT! (LOL)

I JUST COULDNT LEAVE OUT MY MR SCRAPPY HERE WITH HIS DEAR FRIEND POUNCER.
FROM 1985 TO POUNCERS PASSING IN 1993 THEY WERE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE.
THEY WERE SUCH WONDERFUL CATS,AND AFTER THE INITIAL ADJUSTMENT PERIOD WERE AS CLOSE AS TWO CATS COULD BE.
EVERY NIGHT I SAY A PRAYER THAT I WILL SEE MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND WE,AND ALL MY ANGELS WILL BE FRIENDS AGAIN.
ONE FINE DAY.

Babe and Meu-Meu, my two black beauties. Babe the oldest is very sweet to her family loves us to dearly, that she even protects us from strangers. Yet, if you give her a couple treats softens up.
Meu-Meu is a silly little critter, she like to play in water and purrs all the time. She even tucks herself in bed with us.They are good kitties and bring joy to our family.
People say the have a bad omen which is obviously not true.
And I have to say the best thing about black cats is that their fur does NOT show on our clothes and coats! Which is a big bonus

*edit
Oh, Babe got her name because she will let me hold like a baby and could sleep is my arms cradled for hours...so sweet

Hi Jen, I included some photos of my sweet "blackie" Abby.
She is an exceptional cat I believe ,as she has an extremely good temperment. She is also so very smart and mindful of everything that goes on in our home. She loves all her people and she actually is our token "watch-cat" as we do not have a dog. She is very alert to what ever may be going on outside, and any strange sounds , vehicles, etc. , she alerts us with her trademark....gggrrrrrr

, which sounds like a little siren

and she then gets a reward (treat) for being such a good kitty.
She is a very sweet , loving and very affectionate girl, as she kisses me constantly, purrs so very loudly because she is so content. She is a wonderful lap kitty , as she also is a wonderful bed (under sheets

) kitty too

I can go on for hours about her, but it comes down to this...We all (especially me ) love her very much and I believe she understands this , and in return you can really tell that she also loves us too. She can , and does show emotion despite popular belief that animals cannot. I can see it in her eyes and in her facial expressions.

Candidly?

Monte is the absolute WORST cat I have ever known. He is as bold as a mother bear, as strong as an ox, more stealthy than I don't know what, and the biggest bully in the world. He backs down to no one, present company included.

He is the most beautiful cat I have ever known, can be more loving than Cupid, has never lifted a nail towards me (though he did accidently scratch Jonah once), and allows Jonah to lay all over him without a word.

He is the most unique cat, really, but, he is the 'apple that upset the cart'.

Monte, can't live with him, couldn't live without him.

LOL (you won't mind if I don't repeat this one word for word, do you?) I am trying to get the blackies ADOPTED, not tar and feathered.

NOOOOO....I do love that boy, but, he torments my Georgie, and it makes me VERY upset. He is the most splendid cat, really. Kind of like a dog....but, smaller.
