Title: Mr T has this to say about black cats
Post by: Wibblechick on May 14, 2009, 12:18:25 PM
10. You'll save £££ on their Halloween costumes.

9. You can always find them in the snow.

8. Holding a black cat is very slimming.

7. Black cats will match any decor.

6. A lint brush isn't required for a black-tie affair.

5. When you love a black cat, luck is on your side.

4. Black cats are like onyx, a beautiful gem.

3. Hey, they don't care what colour you are!

2. Love knows no colour.

And the number one reason to adopt a black cat...

1. They are the least likely to be adopted.  :(

I could not agree more! We had a very special eight months with our black kitty, Luna, before she was hit by a car in April. I remember the day we picked her up from the RSPCA centre and the staff telling us that they actually have a waiting list for ginger cats, while at the same time, they have dozens of black cats waiting to be rehomed :(

I've got to say I don't understand why so many don't want to adopt black animals [the same problem exists in the doggie world too] :( I love the black and B&W's.

Strangely enough I'm not particularly fond of tabby/brown/brindle animals and can't see myself ever owning one. I'd always go for black or B&W instead  :scared:

I didn't really even think about it when I chose Kylie at the CP homing centre. I was never really fond of long haired cats anyway but there is something about a sleek, shiny black cat (I have to say Kylie wasn't shiny when I got her and ashamed to say a few weeks on Iams after her being fed go-cat by CP sorted that out - btw I heard about Iams shortly after that and she was changed to Hill's and Technicat

We seem to attract black cats in this house, and have 3 of them. We also had a black and white puss as well, but I always say we got adopted rather than other way around.

How on earth could could not want this this gorgeous hunk of fluff baffles me.

I absolutely adore this face!!!


Having 3 black (with more or less white), if I hold them all 3, I must look very slim!  ;D

Shanti and Sabby say 'Black cats rule!'.  Sabby's mum, Meesha, also loves black cats.  So do I! 

TBH, I sorta 'chose' my three because they were the least likely to be adopted.

Shanti looking black!
