Thank you
What a pretty girl. I hope she is healthy, and is calm and settled soon so she can put on a little weight.

You must not live in the US. "Gotcha" is a contraction of "got you", it's sort of a sloppy way of talking. So "Gotcha Day" means "Got You Day", the day the owner "got" or acquired the new cat or any other living thing that you would address with "you". Sometimes this is also rendered as "gotchu' as Sonny & Cher were singing "I gotchu, babe".
Yes we will certainly find her a good home. It just takes a little time till the right person comes along. We have homed special needs cats as well, it just takes time. There really are lovely people out there.
lol. i'm assuming that was in response to my question? i'm a bit confused because i wasn't quoted or tagged.
i'm from NYC gwurrrllL!! i just never got of a gotcha day. All pets that i have currently i know when they were born...so...i don't really consider a gotcha day for them...i just go by their birthdays. lol. but a gotcha day makes sense in @Bluebird Gal 's case as her kitty just appeared out of no where!
Far from any of the better photos of our boys .. but this one has had me laughing for over an hour. We have two cat hammocks in our front windows for the boys. This is Monty during his afternoon nap in the setting sun.
Any lingering doubts of whether or not we're doing the right things for him continue to disappear.

He sure looks comfortable. I am starting to wonder if all male cats like to lie on their backs, I have never had a female of any color who did that, actually, none of them liked to to have their belly touched and the males all like to get their's scratched.
This is Maia lying between my legs on blanket, couldn't be more comfy!
She actually lets me kiss her chelly....thats code for cheetah belly

So I stand corrected, obviously your females do what my male cas have done over the years, maybe my females are the ones that are weird.

I started this thread. I had no idea there would be so many people who just loved black cats as they are the last to be adopted at the shelters. Superstition reigns supreme in the US. In other places black cats are supposed to bring good luck. Cats are cats, no matter what their color. I wasn't looking for any particular kind of cat although I preferred medium to long haired cats 2 1/2 years ago when I found this one who was 5 years old and had short hair, but he just sashayed into the room where he was living with some foster parents and decided that I was the person who should take him to his forever home. He was so right, I love him to death, he sleeps in my bed at night. He does not care for the other two cats who live here, a Persian and a Birman, and they don't care for him either although there are no fights beyond some hissing and an occasional growling. They only occasionally sleep in my bed when the black one decides he wants to sleep elsewhere. This alley cat with his seafoam eyes has turned out to be one of the most affectionate cats of which I have ever had the honor to become a caretaker although he is rather slow on learning new things like a brand-new cat door to the second-floor patio. He'd rather whine at the patio door for me to open the slider. He has finally learned to open the cat door as I refused to play "door man " for him, that's why I got the cat door in the first place. The other two learned it within a day, he took two weeks. BLACK CATS ARE BEST NEVERTHE LESS.

I have known five black cats including Merlin, not one of them were nasty or unfriendly. In fact, everyone story of black cats I've seen all say how wonderful they are. I wasn't looking for a specific cat either, but Merlin had me pegged. My hairdresser, who loves black cats, and had one herself said black cats are the most abused and least likely to be adopted so she was happy I picked a black cat. I'm happy I did too! I dare anyone to meet Merlin and tell me he's bad luck.
How could anyone think a kitten this cute was bad luck!
Miss Moo always said you had to have a little variety. She walked the rainbow bridge 3 years ago at a formidable 20.

No idea. That's my favourite picture of Merlin. He's still adorable now, as an adult.
