Congratulations to you dear Lucy on being COTD. What a beautiful girl you are

God bless your Purrson for rescuing you from the shelter. Sadly, it is true that black cats have a harder time getting adopted. I know that shelter where I volunteer also has a high percentage of black cats and while many of them are so very sweet, they get overlooked. Especially if they are on the timid side and tend to hide, they really are hard to spot. And sadly, especially in the US, there are still many people who believe in the very foolish superstition that they bring bad luck. Well, we've had two black cats in our family and they brought us much good luck and happiness. They are the most beautiful and wonderful companions.

Hope you enjoy your special day of celebration and international stardom dearest Lucy. May your day be filled with all the things you love most. Best wishes to you and your special Purrrson. May you be blessed with many happy and wonderful years together.
