sara—: brownhound: I love black kitties. My friend is an Animal Control Officer and has 5 black cats, all rescued of course. Since black cats are steeped in so much superstition, they are often the most abused and hardest to place. I’ve seen it quoted that nearly 90% of black cats in shelters never get adopted. I love how we allow mythology to determine our feelings on so many issues *coughcough*religion*coughcough* I would just like to point out, that had I a big enough house and the means by which to care for them, I would have probably 80 or so cats. They would all, obviously, sleep in my bed with me for necessary kitteh snuggles in the morning. I also love black cats, just by the way. I once dated a guy who’s mom would keep a VERY close eye on their black cat Oliver around Halloween-time. Apparently there’d been rumors about how neighborhood kids were torturing black cats on Halloween. Really, people? It makes me sick and sad and angry and turns me into a very passive-aggressive person for the entire day when I hear about stuff like that. Hmph.
