Please tell me about your black cats.

Thank you ALL for these wonderful stories. I have put together a 2 page flier and will be handing them out this Sunday at our special ADOPT-A-BLACK-CAT adoption event. My very own fosters Simba and Nova (solid blacks) and TobyGreg (tuxedo) will be showcased with the other blackies from our rescue. Hopefully all your heartfelt words will help to convince a few people that they cannot live without a black cat of their own.

I have to agree with Carla (Catfamilty) about black cats getting attached to people. I have had 3 long term in my lifetime and all three have been the most snuggely, loving lap babies I ever had. Black cats are pretty much like any other cat, they just wear a different colored coat. They bring NO ONE bad luck, especially the owner/servant.

Samantha is my blackie now who was found on my doorstep by a neighbor when I was out of town and took her home to keep. Everytime Samantha was let out, she came to MY door and begged to come in, for 2 years she begged to be mine and finally, we convienced my neighbor to give her up to where she was meant to be. She is the sweeties lap baby and never wants to go out anymore, now that she is where she wants to be. She KNEW and so did I that she was meant to be mine. She is a very smart kitty and learns fast, it took her less than 12 hours to respond to her new name when I gave her the name that fit her once she was mine. Black cats are treated so unfairly for just being born black. Would we even think of considering a person who wore black a evil person?

So many good stories about black cats! I PMed you Jen, without reading that you didn't need any more stories . Eh, at least I can share my story about my two little black fuzzbutts

Onyx and Spook are both rescues from the street. I found Spook in November of 2004, right before a nasty snow storm, and Onyx last summer right before we moved. Both of them are the most afectionate cats, and by far a lot more attached to people and attention than Remus is (Remus is kind of a one person cat). They absolutely LOVE getting petted...from just about anyone. I worry when they refuse to let someone pet them, especially Onyx. They've been right about people 99% of the time, they've got much better judgement than I do!

I love my two black cats! Spook is so regal and panther-like, Onyx is more of a clutz but he's adorable at the same time
