Black Cat Appreciation Day
Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day. For too long black cats have been shunned, persecuted and overlooked. They are least likely color to be adopted from a shelter. Let’s change that and celebrate the beauty, joy and mystery of black cats. Black is beautiful. Spread the word. Consider adopting a black cat. We’re posting lots of black cat images today at our Facebook Page. If you don’t already like us please do. If you have a black cat, please post their photos on our Facebook page
To celebrate, we’re added a new black cat image to our Etsy shop which benefits the ASPCA. It’s the most unusual cat art I’ve created combining photography with antique Asian art and a quote by Edgar Allen Poe. It’s an homage to writers and I’d love feedback since it’s something new for me. It’s on SALE for 10.00 off.

we have mao, who is black and white, and growing up, we had kemal, who was the sweetest, chubby little black cat imaginable. He was so very sweet, and would sleep on the bed of anybody who was not feeling well.

We love black cats here! It’s sad that they have such a hard time finding homes. 🙁
Nice artwork, Layla. We think it is stunning!

The grandpeeps adopted their Shadow specifically because black kitties need homes!

My bestest kitty Little Girl is black with a little white patch on her chest. She LOVES me and I LOVE her! And you would never know that she was born to a feral mother. woo woo woo!

Yay Rumpy. We love dogs who love cats!

Every cat is beautiful and it is regrettable that black one’s are unjustly persecuted due to a ridiculous superstition that has no merit. We are doing our best to shatter that myth at Zee and Zoey’s and hope today brings much enlightenment on this subject.

Black cats are so beautiful. Doesn’t make sense to me that they are unwanted. They are just as wonderful.

We luvs us some black kitteh! Don’t tell Izzy that she has a “heaven forbid” white spot!
She is black cat lady panther fur sure. My feral baby Shadow is black with just the one tiny white spot on his chest just like Izzy.We are probably opposite of many because the black cats are the first ones to catch our eyes.
Luvs to all kittys no matter the color! Save a kitty today! Cat fur goes well with everything in your wardrobe no matter the color of the fur!!
Yeah for Black Cat Day!!!
Luvs skeeter and Izzy and the Feral Gang >^..^<

We are being super nice to Carl today, his is such a sweet. mellow mancat. We just don’t understand how people could judge a cat by the color of their fur. Its absurd.

Hooray for the beautiful black kitties of the world!

It makes me sad that a lot of humans are missing out on enjoying the company of a black cat – they have GREAT personalities!

I have no clue why the black kitties have to wait such a long time in shelters, before they find their furever home. I love black cats, they look like mini-panthers and if we could, we would adopt a black kitty. Black is beautiful.

My cat club, the Cat ‘n’ Around Cat Club is using a black cat theme for our show this year: Black Cat Crossing, Where Black Cats Are Lucky In ’13
I hope everyone does a great job decorating for it. We usually have several exhibitors who decorate their cages to go with our theme and of course the show hall will be decorated appropriately.
I’ve had many black cats in my life but right now the closest I come to it is two tortoiseshells and two black and whites.
