Black Cat Appreciation Day Video & Hammock Time
It’s Black Cat Appreciation Day. This isn’t just another made up holiday to promote something. Black cats get a bad rap for zero good reasons and are the least likely color to be adopted. Case, in point: several black cats I featured a year ago are still waiting to be adopted at New Rochelle Humane Society.
If every one gets the message we won’t need this kind of holiday anymore. To celebrate, we’re sharing 9 amazing reasons black cats are fabulous from our friends, the always entertaining Cole and Marmalade.
If you’re on social media, let’s share black and white cat photos to celebrate Black Cat Appreciation Day. Or share this one.
Mondays with Merlin will return next week but we leave you a taste of what he’s been up to below the
Meowvelous, funny and true video.
The Straight Outta meme based on the film Straight Outta Compton has gone viral. This is our version.
Merlin and I are squeezing out as much hammock time as possible. He claims it’s a cure-all. I agree. I hope you enjoy catnaps with a special cat this week!

Black cats are pawesome! We hope that all of the talk about them today leads to plenty of adoptions, especially the ones who seem to have long waits for new homes.

My mum had 3 brothers before she had us. They were 2 blacks and a tuxie. The tuxie was the last of Kitty Yumbum’s brothers and sisters, and then we arrived.

We don’t know why black cats get such a bad rap. We think they are sleek and beautiful. I know our Miss Boo is mostly black and she is gorgeous as was our Abby girl.

That is so sad that they have been waiting for a home for so long. I have 4 black kitties that are all sweet.

Happy black cat appreciation day. I hope more black kitties find homes.
I agree, Merlin, catnap with cat is the best way to cure stress 🙂

Mao is our second black cat, but he’s a tux so not sure that’s the same thing. We had a super loving all-black boy, Kemal, who was the sweetest thing ever. Quiet boy, who curled up to you when you were sick and never left your side. The best nurse. Ever.

At Petsmart, most of the cats for adoption I see are tuxes.

I’d say tuxies and white cats are a close second.
The Island Cats
We’re with you! This is one cat holiday we don’t need. Black cats are wonderful!

Black is beautiful and I wish that a lot of mini-panthers will find a new home today :o)

Before we came along Mum had a black cat called Maxie – he loved her and used to follow her everywhere!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
