I’ve written before about reasons to adopt a black dog or adopt a black cat. And why they especially need to be adopted—they are the most overlooked in shelters.
Raven was our first reason to adopt a black cat. Crow is our second.
Hola chica! I love the pictures! One of the new sisters may have to be a black one.
I’ve owned three black cats in my life and every one of them has been a total sweetie. My current one, Spike is the most tolerant animal I’ve ever owned. If you ask me Calico’s live up to their name of being crazy, got one of those too! She’s a nut!
I totally agree! All of my black ats have been sweet babies! My current sweet baby boy Dr. Fuzz (named after our last black cat Fuzz) is Mommy’s boy! all of my black cats have been everything that is sweetness!
Black cats being the last ones adopted out is a stubborn pattern, and it is mostly coat colour doing the work, people reading black as unlucky or as harder to photograph, when temperament has nothing to do with it. The genetics are fun too: a solid black cat is really a tabby with the pattern switched off, which is why you can sometimes catch faint ghost striping on a black coat in strong sunlight. I work on Furriq, a cat breed guide site, and we built a coat pattern guide partly because so many owners never learn this.
