Spooktacular, Wow or What: Cemetery Black Cats
With Halloween looming, spooky themes include cemeteries and black cats. But what if the spookiest images could be transformed into something fun with a new meaning? So I combined moody, mysterious black and white imagery with comic book pow. The collage was made from images from our Black and White board on Pinterest and tweaked into an a positive superhero message.
Spooktacular, wow or what? You tell us. Our black cat awareness and appreciation week continues until Sunday. When I was a kid, I heard it was bad luck if a black cat crossed your path. I’d rather believe what Groucho Marx said: “A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.” It’s funny how old myths die hard but humor is a wonderful way to combat superstitions like this vintage Halloween card.
And if that’s not enough to banish the black cat blues, there’s our favorite, funny cat man Francesco Marciuliano with his black cat poem.

I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

Haha, very cute! It hear cat adoption centers need to be careful around Halloween – some terrible people adopt black cats and then do horrible things to them this time of year. Disgusting!

We love those because there’s a bit of humor involved and not dark like cemetery pictures can be. Paws up for black kitties!

Cute! We love panther kitties and think they have a bad rap sadly which leads to all kinds of problems for them. The posters above are cute – love the vintage ones.
Hugs, Pam and Sam
