Unfortunately, many people hold to the rumor that they are bad luck, and if they are encountered outside, the best way to deal with them is to harm them. :( I am talking about my area, hopefully elsewhere it might be different. We have had black cats that were put through such cruel and unusual torture that it is a wonder they were still breathing! My latest rescue, also a black cat will be staying here with us as well. I will be getting him neutered soon, but he has blended well into the group after only being separated from them for three days. We are remodeling, so longer isolation was almost impossible. But my crew is accepting of new cats, they are used to the revolving door policy here. :) Black cats are intelligent, beautiful and fun to have around.

I have several cats and among them are two black females. Both were cast out, alone and scared, but their persistant cries for help convinced me to bring them home. They both calmly lay on the front passenger seat in a regal, Spinx pose, as if they knew everything was going to be alright, and they were going home. Their show of love as if in gratitude is endless. The first one I found still sleeps on my head from time to time. I find their common behavior interesting since I found them at different times and at different ages. I think it’s a shame that black cats and dogs are not as adoptable.
