This is a cute list! Lisa (CCL) was just telling me about all of the black kitties they have at the shelter she runs and that they are so hard to adopt out!

I hope she sees this.

Sure what ever it takes.

First she is a tabby and now she is black.

whatever!

LOL... A black tabby.

I don't adopt non-tabby cats.

Besides, isn't she purrty? Please tell the world that photos just don't do her justice!

I find that Black cats are the most loyal to their owners.They love them more than anything.No need for playing with the other cats as much.They just love their owners so very much.The 3 I have are all the same as far as that goes.Nice cats.But really want to be the only cat.Very sensitive and jealous but very loving and always want to sleep near your head.They are so very affectionate.

edited to add... if you look closely at Abby, you will notice that she is laying on Buddy in this pose. you can see his nose in the top left hand corner of the picture.

Carla just described our black cat, Jasper to a "T"!!

And quite a few of our all black fosters (black tabbies do NOT count) were exactly like our Jasper. So much so that Charlie would call them Jasper Jr.s

**Abby&Buddy'sMom** · 08-17-2005, 07:26 PM

omg...you have just described my Abby exactly....she absolutely love her mother (me

) more than I ever thought a cat was capable of...and of course she is VERY MUCH loved! It is funny cause I was a previous "I dont want a black cat" person before I got her. my oh my....how things change

I wouldnt give her up for a million $.

**jenluckenbach** · 08-17-2005, 07:29 PM

Yes, they most certainly do! She acts EXACTLY like Carla said hers do!

this is Abbys story, as was written in a previous post : I had a wonderful gray kitty that lived to be 16 and she was my very best friend when I was growing up. I got her when I was 5 yrs old , and she went to the bridge when i was 21 and it took me another 18 yrs till I felt comfortable enough to bring another kitty into my heart, because I always thought that there could never be a cat that I could love as much as my little Teeny girl. fast-forward to my age of 39, a co-workers son got a kitten who is gray and white,that I really fell for. I started telling my husband maybe the time has come to find me a new "love" (kitty ) so we went to the local humane society to find a beautiful gray and white kitten with white mittens none were to be found that day. but we did see many little blackies(but I didnt want any). I had my heart set on a gray and white and made a comment like...I dont want a black cat, I want a gray and white with mittens. ok. 3 weeks later we go again to look around. when in a corner cage there were two fuzzy little black furballs . I said OMG..here is THE one for me ! ,Husband says its not gray and white and has no mittens! I said who cares..she is coming home today with us. She is my precious baby Abby and I love her more than I ever thought I could love another kitty. She is like my second child that I could never have , and somehow I think my little Teeny girl sent her to me to love hope you enjoyed my story.

now who could resist that precious face
