My Pretty Poppy rescued from Lesley in September. 
 

Why, what was Lesley doing to her?  :innocent:

Yes she kept it on like that until it ripped off. Silly girl. She is so sweet and lovely, just can't see that so easily on a photo of a black cat. Her brother Charlie is gorgeous too. He's Black and White, handsome little devil. :Luv:

They were both lovely and had beautiful coats, however they were impossible to see in low light!

That's not an issue if they were as clever as Millie.  If it's dark, she squeaks as you approach.  Really!  Ain't she cleva   :Luv2:

I'm the proud owner of  beautiful black cats, all boys. The wee ones aren't brothers (by blood anyway) but often mistaken for brothers as they are so similar in size and age. I get laughed at when I say but they are nothing alike and point out the various minute details. I love when they both hide under the bed at night and all you see is 2 pair of eyes.

I've only had two completely black cats in my time, and both passed away.

They were both lovely and had beautiful coats, however they were impossible to see in low light!

Well just to prove that people prefer coloured cats to black ones, we have 11 blacks here, all overlooked for the "prettier" kittens - other people's loss I say.

Just to clarify for those that ain't in the know (Mary's just aving a laff o course  :)) ; 3 beautiful black puddies obviously ain't enough so group also includes the twins' B&W ma Dinah, fluffy white uncle Fred with tabby splodges and  :bow: HRH Pincess Noni Baroni (tabby Tahitian Goddess)

As and when they require additional company, they will of course advise us  ;) and will be thoroughly and completely ignored  :naughty:

You can never have too many black cats....  We've got 3, plus two black and white ones (one at home, one at the yard).

Very sweet photos :)

I had a guy once come round to my house to do the kids photos, he said how do you have that in your house I cant stand black cats, refering to Ollie  >:(

Needless to say the convo died after that and he went out as quick as he came in  :P

I love black cats but for some reason not many people do and they prove really hard to rehome,

Until I found this site, I had no idea of this.  There's nowt as queer as folk and to want a cat but not a black one is indeed very odd  :)  Needless to say, all 3 have entirely different purrsonalities.  Ruby on my lap grooming and purring as I type.  I would say it was Billy Whiz on my lap but those that know me would know that to be a lie   :sneaky:

Thanks for lovely comments  :)

I'm a Sunderland supporter - since our team is nicknamed the black cats... can't have too many of 'em! Had one as a kid who used to sunbathe himself ginger stripes every summer - he looked seriously daft (he WAS seriously daft)!

You can't have too many black cats  :Luv: :Luv:

In an alternate universe, I have several black cats.  Some pedigree and some moggy so slightly different body shapes, but all jet black  ;D  I love how shiny black fur is.
