We brought home another cat - no, kitten, she's yang. So. She's black with white. and my husband loves her, though he says he doesn't like black cats.
And what colour do you like? Or Dislike?

I like all colors of cats, including black cats, which were once associated with witchcraft here in the U.S.

I owned an all black cat named Midnight for 13 1/2 years.

I really like grey cats, but I love all colours and patterns


So far I've had like.. 4 black cats? And one of them still lives with me right now. I can say from a foster moms stand point, these black cats can be pretty darn hard to adopt out!

Yes I like Black Cats too..... I had a marvelous boy a long time ago and he had golden eyes. I used to call him Sir, but he always reminded me of a warlord or similar. Slinky, shiny all black and he had a habit of looking right at you all the time as if he could put you under his spell by hypnotising you with his magnificant eyes.He was sadly missed when he died.

I adopted Midnight two weeks after moving into my own apartment, and we've been through it all ever since as a team! He will be 12 yrs old this year. I have always loved black cats and wanted one since I was a little girl.

At the cat's shelter (CWSI) we have a huge handsome cat called Bagira. He is black like the night, and looks amazing!!! He's such a sweet giant!

I don't know. I'm up to 10 cats (including leo) and non of them are black. Black cats just don't seem to find me...and dh isn't going to let me have anymore kitties for a very long time...unless some new ones wonder up


I have 4 orange tabbies(Neo, moemoe, sherbert, and Leo)
4 white cats (Snowwhite, blizard, nimbus, stormy)
1 grey brown tabby (lilly)
1 grey and white (ashton)

No black kitties
I have always wanted one sooooo bad. but i really am at my limit with cats! maybe one days one will wonder up

Here's Faile when she was about 3 months old.



And a little over 1 year. She has to get into anything that I put on the floor.



We had a black cat when I was a kid, too.

I also have an orange tabby. Here's Molly as a baby, maybe 4 months old.



And here she is now.

i met an all-black kitty prince, named Prince Arthur, at a recent cat show. He was GORGEOUS!! Shiny and slick hair, and very adorable and alert. His owner and i shared grooming tips, and he was a total sweetheart!

When i help out with kitty adoptions, i see that many potential adopters would not go for the black kitties at first. Many times, i blame it on the stories we were exposed to as kids, that associated black cats with witches, and with "evil." It is sad, but even to today, most black cats are very much badly misconstrued.

i have several outside kitties that are black and white -- Patches, Sally and Adonis (with orange specks), and they are so beautiful in my eyes.

i also like tabby cats as well, especially the orange tabbies, that resembles a mini tiger (see Brownie's pix below.)

i have two white kitties, and Venus was born deaf. i feel that white kitties are of pretty high maintenance. The dirt on a white kitty can not be "camouflaged" at all.

Personally, i feel how you bond and interact with your kitty matters a lot, as opposed to the color or the type of breed.

Cheers!

Did you know, that while in most of the world, black cats used to be considered "bad luck," in some places WHITE cats were bad luck? Can't remember where, it may have been Russia. A long time ago, of course . . . I thought it was an interesting factoid.

I love all colors and sizes of cats! But, black ones are my all time favorite. Mostly due to my very first baby, Midnight. We just had a deep connection and I miss him dearly.
