How sad!! Glory is beautiful! And the look on his face, he looks so confused...
I love black animals, all types...horses, dogs, cats...I've grown up with all black animals. The first pet I ever knew was my grandmother's black cat, originally named Blackie! And I rode a black horse named Midnight Warrior for 10 yrs. I never ever thought or remember thinking that there was anything wrong with black animals despite all the hoopla...And I scare easy!
I do feel very sorry for this girl however if at 19, she is still afraid to make her own decisions! I can understand taking your mother's advice into consideration but... She should join this board and we'll give her the confidence to stand her ground! If she adopted an all white cat, would they think she was an angel????
