Black Cat Halloween Luck, Contest, Vintage Cards
Happy Caturday dear cat lover friends. We have oodles of black cat Halloween luck, a contest and vintage Halloween cards.
We’re so thrilled to share our unique art, we’re joining the cat art blog hop at AthenaCatGoddess today.
In our quest to reframe black cats as adoptable as any other color, all the vintage art from 100+ years ago has been re-designed with a positive look. You will not find hideous hags and evil black cats on these pages.
FIrst up, how about some good luck? All cats need pet parents who keep their cats safe on Halloween. Here are our practical Halloween Safety Tips. and bonus shareable Halloween graphics.
Do you feel lucky? Please share any of our artwork.
Would you like to a chance to win a custom portrait of your cat?
Well, it’s your lucky day. One of our Black Cats Tell All book contributors, Kayla has two lovely mini-panthers, Momo and Nova and she’s offering the custom portrait. This graphic is a sample and features Nova and Momo.
One of the wonderful things about working on the book project is deepening my connection with both the cats and their humans. Most of the cats are on Instagram and the kindness and generosity of the IG cat community is astounding. There are fundraisers for sick cats, contests and goofy pawtys like Caturday Night Derp-off, just because and endless private messages. From the U.S. Canada, U.K. Finland, Hungary, Russia, Japan, Australia + we feel united because of cats!
Kayla just opened a new website for Pet Portraits at KaylaErickson.com She is a digital painter who has worked in the video game industry as a 3D artist on many popular games including Batman. Visit her website to see examples and her process. She takes two or three days to complete one. Take advantage of the super low prices. I’m not sure how long they will last.
Contest Rules. Since you’re reading this, we’ll make it easy. A comment at this post = 1 entry. For bonus entries and to show support to our IG friends,

Absolutely love the vintage cards and I adore black cats, always have. I bookmarked Paula’s website. My black cat Boo Boo is simply the best. He knows who needs extra loving or attention. My Mom came over and he wouldn’t leave her alone!
So glad you’re taking up their cause.
I don’t have any social media sites to share. So sorry
Layla Morgan Wilde
Thanks Connie Marie. So, you’re off all social again?
