They say that if you find a shed black cat whisker, you should pick it up and keep it, and take it with you when you don't want to be noticed. I used to have one, and I'd carry it with me when I was sick and feeling grungely and depleted and didn't want to deal with anybody. I wish I knew where I put it.

Love, Columbine

And if you want protection, wear a black cat's claw/s somewhere on your body.

this is one of those wonderful web-tails that needs to be sent around every once in awhile, for those who haven't seen it yet, and for those of us who've forgotten it. it's such a simple and elegant way to deal with a constant problem....

FirstCat was a black persian mix, and my first persian was black, and the current elder cat is a black persian (hmmm, is there a pattern here?)--i can't imagine not having one of these magical beasts around. but take one out for a walk on a leash some moonlit night with clouds, and watch them appear and disappear, and you'll start to understand where some of the superstitions come from....

I'm going to send this to my local shelter too! What a GREAT story!
My RB cat Koko was such a sweet little girl. Very petite with a big, brave heart.

What a wonderful story! I love our "little" black kitty so much (even though she is a PAIN sometimes lol)
I just wish she wasn't so darn hard to see in dark hallways lol.

Amen to that! I've tripped over my blackie Boo more times than I can count. And forget about closets. If he goes into one, he could be shut in all day. He doesn't meow to let me know he's in there, so I'm sure to take a head count before I leave the house.

Here are some pictures of a black cat I met at the stables. His name is Blackie. The first picture is him as a kitten, the others are more recent.

Great story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I luv my black cat to pieces, and am sad that people would pass up a cat that could be perfect just because of their color

. )My cat's name isn't Jellybean though , her name's China, because apparently her eyes looked like a Chinese person's eyes or something. I didn't name her, but her name is the source of many great nicknames, such as Chi chi, bejing baby, ect.
