I have to disagree with this one because finding them in snow, I would think, would be similar to finding them in a "white" house. Remember when Tubby got "lost?" Where is he?


And since a thread about blackies isn't complete without a picture of Tubby, here is where I found him, reveling in the sun while hiding from meowmy. (oh how I miss my big boy )


Oh, and I'm not surprised that they are the last to be adopted. Just check Petfinder.com and you'll see that the majority of cats for adoption are blackies and torties.

I remember when Tubby got lost.That was a nice thread...finding him happy sunning himself.We panick so much when we don't see them for a while.

Everybody's Black Kitties are just gorgeous, I think it maybe a superstition thing in the US, but here in NZ, Black cats are considered good luck if they cross your path, and I believe in Scotland too, so my mother tells me, so I think they would be more popular to adopt in NZ for that reason maybe.

I have never chosen my cats by colour, Ash well he was a stray no decision there, and I was never going to adopt another Blackie after loosing my sweet boy Sootie, too painful a memory, but fate would have it, Lexie came into my life, and she just happened to be a black sweet girl, and she is the best.

You cannot beat a Black Beauty IMO, not that I am biased or anything.

My Mikey (all black) was the most loving cat ever! In fact, he could almost drive you crazy with the leg rubbing, jumping in your lap and following you around. He used to sleep on top of my head every night ...oh how I miss that black beauty.

He was the sweetest boy you could imagine and I wish I still had him.

No, we never chose our cats by color...we did it by instinct and by their purrsonalitites.

You see!!! My black cats have the same personalitys.They follow me around.Sleep on my head,if no other black cat took that spot already and very very loving.AND they drive me crazy .But they really don't like other cats.(At least mine don't).They want to be the only one and stay by your side always.My BooBoo is I think 17 now and I've had him since he was 6 weeks old.His brother (Black and White)KiKi died of Cancer of the jaw last year.But BooBoo never really cared to much for him.And Now with all these other cats he's so upset.Poor guy.He's used to all the attention.So he comes first.He's dying soon and I want him to have me all to his self and I can't.So I'm trying to be with him as much as possible.He has Thyroid problem plus he's not eating and he MAY have Cancer of the Jaw too.Very rare but his brother had it.His teeth are done all the time and are good but he keeps rubbing his cheek with his paw when he eats.I'm giving him chicken with Gravy baby food untill Monday when I get him to the vet.I hope they don't say it's time.I want to give him more love first.

Jen I'm so glad you started this thread! The shelter is overloaded with the most beautiful black cats! I can't understand it either. They are so sweet and so incredibly loving. I'm already figuring that I will get stuck with these two black kittens because I will not let them grow up and live their life in a cage at the shelter.
We even have two gorgeous long haired black cats at the shelter with a reduced adoption price and still no one wants them.
I know I don't have a black cat but I only took in the ferals that landed on my porch and it just so happened that none of them were black. Lucky is the closest I've got and he's a black tabby with very distinct tabby stripes.

Lets keep spreading the word about how wonderful they are and maybe we can get some of the beauties adopted!!
