Please tell me about your black cats.

Bella, my black shorthair, is easily the most beautiful cat I have seen. She's very delicate and quick on her feet. There is nothing more beautiful than a black cat soaking up the sun. She is very quick witted and perky, as well as humorous and loving.

I've only owned one black cat so far but unfortunately he's no longer with me because he had to be put to sleep due to illness in Feb. 2003.

My RB Pepper was a wonderful big fuffy black cat. He was at Petco with 4 other kittens and I chose him because he was the friendliest and he was always purring. He and Storm bonded in only 1 hour and became best friends.

He was a very laid back gentle giant and loved to sit in my lap. He would let me know when it was time for bed by meowing to me and then he'd jump into bed and wait for me. He also had to knead my neck and chest every night and he'd get so excited that he'd drool all over me. He was a big mama's boy and loved being with me. He was only with me for a little over 5 years and I wish that he could've been with me longer but I have many pictures of him and wonderful memories to help me remember him. I'm sure that we'll meet again some day.

Here's my RB Pepper:

M.C. may have to much white on him to be useful but I thought I'd post and let you decide.

He has his definate "quirks" but overall he loves attention, lays in your lap and talks up a storm. He's extremely smart and thinks things through. He can open closed doors using the door latch, open cupboards and even slam the door to "his room" when he's mad. He plays fetch and will come when you call. He's happiest laying in your lap purring...

I don't have any solid black kitties (yet! - there are two hanging around my apartment I'm trying to tame!) but my sister has two. I can tell you about them and her RB Shadow.

Shadow was the best lapwarmer anyone could ask for. He was a senior cat when adopted but entered into her multicat household with no problems. He cared for the kittens, bathing them and snuggling them at night to keep them warm. His favorite activity was making happy feet on his meowmy all night. Shadow didn't have a mean hair on his body. Though some people may have been scared of him because he was solid black and very large, Shadow was nothing but goodness and a kitten at heart.

Oliver got his name because every time my sister would feed him, he'd say "Please, can I have some more?" Though once a stray, Oliver quickly became tame and very loving. He is famous for his headbumpies; I'm not joking when I say he once gave me so many headbumpies that I almost fell off the bed! Oliver's purr is loud and he is not sparing with it. His favorite activity is to meet his meowmy at the door and tell her all about his day. The moment she sits down on the couch, she can expect the headbumpies to start coming. He always wants to be as close to her as he can be.

Doppelganger (Doppie) knows a good thing when he finds it! My sister saw a black kitten outside her home and opened the door to feed it when it ran inside and simply never left! Doppie is never without a little smile on his face and loves to be packed around like a baby. He's a great lapwarmer. Though not much of a talker, Doppie has a purr that could melt the hardest of hearts. His favorite activies include laying stretched out on top of his meowmy at night and purring while he sleeps.

I hope these helped. I know why some people don't like black cats and I am saddened over this because they are as wonderful kitties as any other color. I only know one black kitty who isn't a sweetheart and that's not because he's black - he'd be a meanie no matter what color he was!
