  • I have a black cat, and he is incredibly sweet, smart, affectionate, and loyal.

    I rescued a black cat in 2015 she was 7 years old. She saved my life multiple times. I had Miss Rain until June 4th, 23. She was my soul and heart. I will see her in another life!
  • My black cat adopted me while I was dealing with grief. Now she's my emotional support animal, and living comfortably in my home.

    My black male cat passed away a month ago and I have never met as sweet feline as him. Even when the vet took blood samples from him regularly (hyperthyroid reasons) he never complained. Every time vet and assistants were amazed how nicely he behaved. Rest in peace my beloved boy~

    I've had only black cats for the past 25 years because my vet told me about their very low adoption rate. And they have been the best cats! As I type this, my big (25 lb) male baby (he's 14) is snuggled up next to me, purring and looking at me with love. It could be because he wants dinner, though 😁
  • I have a long hair solid black cat that showed up at work on Halloween!!! She is beautiful, she is the sweetest cat I have ever known. She has a little squeak of a meow so we named her Squeaky. She is beside me this very moment. I love her so much. She has more character than any other cat I have.
  • So back in October, I rescued a Bombay cat, the blackest black cat, and he’s so sweet and loving. It was right before Halloween so I instantly adopted him from the humane society, little did I realize I was saving two cats. My cat’s name is Felix and he’s a big lover boy at heart. Back in December my brother’s medic in the army who’s a huge animal lover got so inspired from Felix he went and adopted his own little black kitten named Athena. Poor little girl was through it as part of her ear was missing, but he loves that little kitten so much.

    Thank you for supporting the adoption of black cats. I have volunteered at animal shelters for over 10 years, and I've never found that one cat fur pattern was superior to another one when it came to sweet, cuddly, cats.
  • @Raja-bz4yw
    I used to work in a cat shelter. The black cats were adopted pretty fast. The obese cats unfortunately took the longest to be adopted. Either way, please adopt the black cats and the obese ones! They're all very sweet
  • @schmoogle7853
    I had a little black cat adopt me. He just kept on coming to my door and meowing to come in and now he's curled up in my lap while I type. I certainly consider him to be good luck. He is so playful and crazy and as a result has made my life infinitely more fun with his antics. I also no longer need an alarm clock to get me up on time... His meows are a much nicer way to wake up than electronic beeping ♥
  • We have numerous black cats, and they're some of the friendliest cats I've ever met. We recently got a new puppy, and one of the black cats very quickly came over to give her a friendly head bump and welcome her to the household.
  • @yuyu2007
    I just adopted a black kitty a few months ago. I had no idea of their low adoption rates. I’m so glad I got him (his name is Batman and two weeks after I adopted him, I went back to the shelter to get him a friend… who I named Robin!)
  • I have never met an unfriendly black cat. Every black cat I've met has been really sweet and friendly. I have two lovely black cats at home and they're super sweet. Also, I find it hilarious that the classic image of a black Halloween cat is a scared cat. They're supposed to be scary but they're actually scared. The arched back, fluffed up tail, and bristling fur is all an attempt to look bigger when they feel threatened. A classic fear response.
  • My black cat Cecil provided me with nearly 20 years of companionship and pleasure. He was one of the most personable cats I’ve ever owned. I lost him to CKD last December, and I still miss him to this day. My wife and I are looking into adopting another black cat before the end of the year.
  • Blakeford adopted me 8 years ago. He was pretty old and had a bad hip and urinary issues. But he's happy and healthy and on his back right now in the middle of our living room. He's a very good boss and we love that cat.
  • I remember going to an adoption center with my sister a few years ago to get a black kitten (who is now named Gi-Gi) and the staff telling me how black cats are less likely to be taken because of their "stereotype" and I was pretty shocked. But she is the sweetest cat ever once she gets to know you.
  • @just_kos99
    I'd love to watch all of this but I can't. I've got a miniature panther, and it just ticks me off so much to hear about all the bias and superstition. My girl's the sweetest kitteh anyone could want.
  • I just adopted a black cat, well a feral kitten. She showed up on my deck mewing and crying - on Halloween! How cool is that? Poor little thing is so tiny. The vet said she’s seven or maybe weeks old and is healthy except for a belly full of worms, which he treated her for. She was very shy the first few days but now she’s a cuddly little thing. I have two other cats, adult males, and they are starting to play with her.
  • @harry.t9523
    Black cats are truly underrated in so many ways. Personally, I find them to be like silhouettes with bright eyes. It’s almost like the special black paint that can turn anything into a real life silhouette. And that’s why I named my black cat Vanta.
