This is my old cat Fluffy who passed away a good 3 years ago after we had to put her down. My mom, sister and I always called her a 'chocolate brown' cat; she looks black, but in the light her fur would look brownish and have multiple tone. Was she actually a black cat? At least to me, she looks similar to some of the cats posted here. Do black cats have this fur thing where they're black but have brownish fur in the light? All these years later, it would be kind of sweet to know.

It's that time of year!  Please, keep your cats safe!

Who says that all black cats look alike? If you posed a hundred black cats like this, and I know most of us have at least one similar one, isn't it marvelous that everyone of us could pick out our own? This one is the foster cat named Patrick.

I agree. I have looked at every black cat on this page and I try to see a resemblance to my RB kitty Raven and outside of the coloring, none look like him. I could pick him out of a whole room full of black cats.

I think black cats really do have black fur but exposure to sunlight sort of bleaches them which turns the fur brownish which is the same as in people whose hair also bleaches in the sun. Usually you don't see the brown color, only when the light hist them just right. Your cat was BLACK and gorgeous.

Keep all your cats safe at any time of year but the black ones especially at this time of year because of all the crazies that are up and about.

My girl also looks like she has brown fur in sun light. But in neutral lighting her fur is really black! and don't get me started in the dark! We can't even see her LOL :lol3:

My RB cat Wesley had a beautiful red shade in the sun. I've never seen it before or since but it was lovely.

sort of chestnut I suppose?

Jiro usually gets a reddish tint in the summer, but this year we've had so much rain he stayed black. He's easy to identify because of his stubby little tail.

It was just the tips of his hair and it really was a deep red color. Hard to explain and I don't have a picture.

Mind if I join in the black cat club?

This is my 3 and a half year old spoiled baby girl. I've had her since she was around 3 weeks old. She was found along with her twin brother (who sadly passed away a week later after finding him). My friend was the one who found them, it was a rainy and cold day and he couldn't leave them out to freeze. He was going to turn them in to animal control but I told him to let me have them instead, at the moment I was clueless that they needed to be bottle fed. Once he dropped them off I went out to buy bottles and kitten formula. Her twin brother, who I named Nevan got really sick, we took him to the vet but sadly there was nothing that could've been done and he passed away in my arms. I was just left with this cutie and she grew to be spoiled with cuddles and kisses. She has quite the personality though!

     A friend from out of town spent the night and about 4:40 in the morning I heard a fairly loud, "AGHHHHH"!  I jumped up to see what had happened. 
Apparently, she had gotten up to use the bathroom and saw 4 'glowing orbs' staring at her in the dark. She had never owned cats, so I had to explain to her it was just the light from outside the window reflecting off the cat's retina's. She was totally freaked out and we were up for the day! LOL 

Here is a pic of Keeker on the window sill at night.

Lol, I wonder whether she will stay with you again

Here's my sweet senior kitty. He loves it when I carry him like a baby.

Yes!  She visits from out of town a couple times a year and she has been here since that incident. I think it just threw her off guard... not expecting to see 'glowing orbs' as soon as she opened her eyes! LOL   

 

[lallorona]

She's such a mommy's girl right now. She only wants me to lay down with her and if I get up she runs after me and escorts me back to my room :lol3:
